A particular challenge for oil & gas are Scope 3 emissions,
which typically account for 85% of all company emissions
Scope 1, 2 and 3 Emissions
Breakdown of GHG Emissions by Scope The Challenge of Scope 3 emissions

• Oil & gas companies typically address direct Scope 1


emissions, whilst Scope 2 emissions are often negligible
• Oil & gas contributes to all of the categories of Scope
3 emissions – either embedded in the supply chain, or in
the use and end-of-life processing of sold products
• As a consequence, Scope 3 emissions typically account
for 85% of total oil and gas company emissions
• Reducing Scope 3 emissions requires oil & gas
companies to reduce the carbon intensity of the
products they sell and/or offer less carbon intensive
alternatives
• Possible industry responses include:
• Investing in nature-based carbon sinks to offset the
emissions impact of oil & gas products
• Investing in renewable and/or lower carbon
intensity products for sale to customers

Investments in low carbon are typically managed “at arms-

Low Carbon Investment Operating Models
BP Ventures Portfolio Discussion

• To manage investments in low carbon, many oil & gas companies have created
new “Energy Ventures” organizations
• Management of low carbon ventures is often “at arms-length” that reflects the
characteristics of the low carbon portfolio:
• Emerging technologies and business areas where business models and
technologies are not yet mature
• Non-traditional capability requirements with limited synergy potential with
core oil & gas business
• Whilst growing, investments to date in new projects outside of core oil & gas are

• Earlier reporting frameworks were aimed to communicate ESG impact to a wide range of stakeholders, however, reporting frameworks launched
post 2010 are targeted towards investors community
• Also, earlier frameworks focused on passive reporting of information, but recent frameworks are action oriented and target not only disclosures but
also details on clean energy investments, decarbonization strategy, fossil fuel divestment details etc.
