Energy Transition

Climate change is a severe and increasing risk to global society but, in solving it, we will also address many other environmental problems, such as poor air quality. Our approach is to find ways of accelerating the transition to a zero net emissions economy. Our work focuses on reducing emissions of climate pollutants, including shorter lived but high-impact gases such as methane. We work in targeted sectors and countries to help design policies that harness the engines of prosperity toward delivering a stable climate.

Oil and Gas Methane

Reducing methane emissions from the oil and gas sector is a clear, cost effective action with a big short term climate impact. We believe the interplay between science, smart policies, innovation and corporate commitments is a critical one in order to achieve meaningful global methane reductions.

It’s why each of these elements underpins our methane strategy in Europe, the world's largest import market of gas.

Energy Sector Transitions

Through international collaboration, we aim to spur clean energy innovation by electrifying the transportation and building sectors, updating electricity market regulations and driving new business models to increase investor confidence.

Highlighting how the carbon content of electricity changes over time demonstrates the progress being made and can help inform when to draw power.
