Key challenges

Navigating regulatory pressure

Clean Air Act, GHGRP, ReFuelEU Aviation, Fuel EU Maritime REDII/III, EU ETS II, ESPR, CSRD… Oil and gas companies must comply with evolving regulations like these to secure licenses to operate and demonstrate industry leadership.

Beyond mandated disclosures, voluntary standards addressing the reduction and mitigation of GHG emissions, e.g. from venting, flaring and fugitives (VVF), are driving the sector’s decarbonization efforts.

Obtaining fuel certification

From the RED III and RFS to the IMO Net-Zero Framework and ICAO-CORSIA, oil and gas companies must navigate a growing number of standards and regulations specifically focused on carbon intensity in fuels.

These stringent sustainability requirements are shaping both new and existing projects, compelling companies to adapt their strategies to avoid penalties and market restrictions.

Establishing competitive advantage

New technologies (e.g. fuel cells) and alternative fuels (e.g. bio-based feedstocks and renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO)) help companies differentiate and capture new markets.

To prove their environmental benefits, fuel suppliers must assess the sustainability of global supply chains, identify emission reduction potentials and bring cost-effective improvements to every stage of their product lifecycles.
