Lobby group says emissions cap would cost oil and gas sector $75B in lost investment
If oil and gas drillers reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030, there could be a $75 billion decrease in capital investment over nine years, resulting in one million barrels less of daily production by 2030 and 51,000 fewer jobs by 2030.
The report confirms that the government's proposed emission cap would indirectly limit fossil fuel production, aligning with the industry’s concerns.
The study also considers the potential impact of methane regulations, projecting a 75% reduction in emissions by 2030, highlighting the uncertainty of these policies.
