Abstract:

The findings of this analysis offer valuable insights for investors interested in the Oil and Gas Sector. The study helps investors assess the risk level associated with their investments in this sector, considering the environmental impact and the transition towards a net-zero emissions economy. By understanding the projected emissions growth and comparing it against the net-zero target, investors can gauge the feasibility of achieving the sector's environmental goals. Armed with this knowledge, investors can make informed decisions to mitigate their risks effectively. They can identify companies that demonstrate a proactive approach to reducing GHG emissions and aligning with the net-zero target. By investing in such companies, investors can support the transition towards a sustainable energy future while potentially reducing their exposure to regulatory and market risks associated with high-emitting entities. In summary, the research paper assesses the likelihood of the Oil and Gas Sector reaching its Net-Zero Target by 2030 using a sample of 29 companies. It provides a historical analysis of GHG emissions, forecasts emissions growth until 2030, and offers valuable insights for investors to understand and mitigate risks in the sector based on their analysis.
