The world must move towards low cost, secure and low carbon energy. The oil & gas industry is working collectively, across the world, to improve access to clean energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and invest in low carbon technologies. However, even with a fast transition to renewable energy, oil & gas together will still supply around half the world’s primary energy needs by 2040. Put simply, our industry will be around for a long time to come. Over one in seven people globally lack electricity to light their homes or refrigerate their food. Even more rely on dirty fuels such as charcoal and coal for cooking. Replacing outdated cook stoves and open fires with modern energy services would save the lives of 800,000 children who die each year because of exposure to indoor air pollution. “Access to clean modern energy will help to reduce poverty, improve public health and education and foster economic growth.”
