Study finds carbon emissions benefits of reduction in oil demand depend on size of drop and global oil market structure

Green Car Congress

NOVEMBER 4, 2021

Previous models have treated oil producers’ carbon footprint as if all barrels of oil are exactly the same, but with novel extraction technologies there is a great deal of variability in the global oil supply. It’s complex, and it’s not linear. Our model takes that into consideration. —Mohammad Masnadi.

IIASA: removing fossil fuel subsidies will not reduce CO2 emissions as much as hoped

Green Car Congress

FEBRUARY 8, 2018

Removing fossil fuel subsidies would have only a small effect on CO 2 emissions and renewable energy use, according to a new study led by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and published in the journal Nature. Although the global effect on emissions is low, the impact varies between regions.
