How much do indirect emissions from extracting, processing and transporting oil and gas to consumers add to full lifecycle emissions? We looked in detail at this in @iea #WEO2018 (thread below, more at bit.ly/2WhiPkq)
The answer varies, depending on where and how the oil and gas is produced. In a first comprehensive global assessment, led by @TofMcGlade, we found that the most emissions-intensive sources of oil and gas have four times more indirect emissions than the least 2/10
This matters. Total indirect greenhouse gas emissions from oil and gas operations today, including CO2 and methane, are around 5.2 billion tonnes CO2-eq, that’s 15% of total energy sector GHG emissions 3/10
