A paper by a team from the University of Chicago and MIT suggests that technology-driven cost reductions in fossil fuels will lead to the continued use of fossil fuels—oil, gas, and coal—unless governments pass new taxes on carbon emissions. We need both a policy like a carbon tax and to put more R&D money into renewables.

The average GHG intensity of production in the US Gulf of Mexico was found to be 7 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent per barrel of oil equivalent (kgCO 2 e/boe) in 2022. Conversely, assets on the upper bound of carbon intensity—responsible for just 10% of total production—generated 35% of the basin’s total GHG emissions.
