Video | Lens Emissions: Africa’s oil – legacy fields vs low-carbon future

As global pressure mounts to decarbonise the energy sector, oil and gas companies are facing increased scrutiny over their environmental impact, particularly their greenhouse gas emissions. In sub-Saharan Africa, where oil production plays a crucial role in national economies, understanding and managing emissions is becoming both a regulatory necessity and a strategic advantage.

Wood Mackenzie’s Lens Emissions platform provides a powerful tool for analysing and managing upstream emissions. It enables stakeholders to meet the growing demands of sustainability across Africa’s energy sector.

In this video, we explore key emission trends across the continent. Using the Lens platform, we demonstrate how to assess Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, offering insights into Africa’s comparatively high emissions intensity and the implications of evolving environmental regulations.

Through a comparative analysis of established producers such as Cameroon’s SNH and emerging players like Côte d’Ivoire’s Petroci, we highlight the key challenges and opportunities facing African oil companies as they adapt to a global market increasingly focused on sustainability.
