Synopsis

The Carbon Trust has just completed a report on carbon and the oil and gas sector, with McKinsey (see link for report below). The report looks at the impact on companies in six sectors - including oil and gas - and at how companies in these sectors fare in a successful move to a low carbon economy. It looks at 4 ways the world may stabilise CO2 concentrations at 550 parts per million by 2050, and how oil and gas companies are impacted depending on whether they are a leader or a laggard. Get a copy of the report "Climate Change -- A Business Revolution" from the Carbon Trust's web site.
