Overview

The Emissions Solution by Rystad Energy is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the environmental performance within the oil and gas industry on both global and regional scales. Recognizing that approximately 20 gigatonnes of CO₂ emissions are produced annually from fossil oil and gas combustion—with 90% stemming from end-use combustion and 10% from exploration and production (E&P) sector activities—the solution emphasizes the importance of data transparency and quality. It offers a consistent, field-level methane emissions database for upstream oil and gas operations, integrating publicly available data, proprietary facility-level estimations, and global satellite measurements. This continually updated database aids stakeholders in making informed decisions to mitigate emissions effectively.
