Emissions Benchmarking Tool
Inform strategic decisions regarding emissions risk management via competitive benchmarking, portfolio analysis and economic impact assessment.
An independent assessment of oil and gas and metals and mining carbon emissions
Emissions targets set under the 2015 Paris Agreement – and new pledges under the Glasgow Climate Pact – have far-reaching and material implications for the long-term corporate strategies of every player in the energy and extractive industries.
The Emissions Benchmarking Tool provides transparency at the asset and corporate level for Upstream, Downstream and Metals & Mining to enable a comprehensive assessment of emissions-related risks and opportunities.
Prepare for a lower carbon future using a consistent, transparent and standardised view
Emissions Profiles
Emissions Profiles
Asset-by-asset forecasts for Upstream to 2064 and Downstream and key Metals and Mining value chains to 2040.

Carbon Pricing & Policy Risk
Carbon Pricing & Policy Risk
Assess the likelihood and stringency of carbon regulation in 160+ countries.
Understand which assets are more exposed to potential carbon costs, or where you may need to reduce emissions to comply with regulations.
Financial Liability
Financial Liability
Ensure investment decisions are robust under multiple different scenarios.
Design your own carbon price assumptions, or our risk index and carbon price forecasts, to understand how they would impact asset and corporate valuations.
