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

The study, published as an open-access paper in Nature , offers a closer look at the relationship between decreasing demand for oil and a resilient, varied oil market—and the carbon footprint associated with both. It’s complex, and it’s not linear. Our model takes that into consideration. —Mohammad Masnadi.

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.

About 60-80% of full life cycle emissions result from driving/operating a vehicle; if only the extraction emissions (WTT) are examined, oil sands will deliver a relatively high value. One reason it makes strategic sense to focus on oil sands is that they represent the world’s first major step into extra-heavy unconventional oil.
