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.
