I en artikel diskuterer Climate Home News, der er et uafhængigt not-for-profit medie, hvem der skal have lov til at hente den sidste olie og gas op af jorden, inden de grønne teknologier gerne skulle overtage.
Climate Home News vurderer olie- og gasproduktion ud fra tre kriterier: Mindst skadelig produktion, billigste produktion og fairness.
Hovedkonklusioner fra analysen:
- It found that Norway’s oil and its gas were the cleanest in the world to produce, measured by emissions intensity, while supplies from the UAE and other Gulf nations like Saudi Arabia and Qatar were also among the least damaging.
- In the IEA’s “low cost” scenario, in 2040, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Iran increase their oil and gas production the most. More expensive producers like Canada, Australia and China have to cut down how much they pump.
- Using a measure of financial “capacity”, defined as surplus income above “what is required to meet people’s needs”, the report (published by a network of civil society groups at COP28, red.) found that Libya, Iraq and South Sudan should be among the last countries extracting oil, while Algeria, Trinidad and Tobago, and Turkmenistan are among the last extracting gas. The likes of Norway, Canada and Qatar should stop first for both, it concluded.
