Key Coverage - Understand Decarbonization Trends
Energy Outlooks, Energy Scenarios, and Net Zero Cases
Multiple alternative energy integrated outlooks out to 2050, including a planning outlook, plausible energy scenarios and net zero cases for the global energy supply and demand balance across fuels at country, regional and global levels. Built on more than 1.5 million data points, our decarbonization trends and energy scenario data and analysis is a critical tool for organizations in the face of unparalleled uncertainty to navigate global energy markets. It helps them understand implications for fossil fuel demand, electrification, and emissions across different energy transition pathways and identify risks and opportunities for investment, market entry and exit, commodity sourcing, and trading in a lower carbon world.
Climate Policy, Actions, and Metrics
Analysis of global and national climate policy, including economy-wide and sector-specific climate change mitigation and adaptation policies and measures, along with analysis of the nationally determined contribution (NDC) submissions in support of the Paris Climate Agreement. Data and analysis help stakeholders assess and compare energy-related greenhouse gas mitigation and climate change adaptation policies at the national, federal, or subnational level affecting energy consumption and production. We also organize and support key climate events, providing important thought leadership in this ever-changing area.
Emissions Performance, Accounting, Reporting and Regulation Insights
Standardized, bottom-up greenhouse gas emissions data at the asset level across the energy value chain and industrial sectors helps clients assess climate risks, evaluate investment decisions and benchmark decarbonization performance across assets, sectors, commodities and corporations. Through interrogating and providing insights, our products help clients understand carbon competitiveness and emissions performance. We also track and analyze the implications of evolving key standards and regulations for carbon accounting and reporting.
Carbon & Environmental Markets
We have coverage of compliance and voluntary carbon market fundamentals, including balances, outlooks, credit price forecasts, scorecards, and evaluations with in-depth analysis of carbon policies and resulting implications for the energy transition. We help our clients stay informed and understand the trajectory of carbon and environmental markets and decarbonization trends to assess opportunities, comply with regulations, generate revenue, and manage risks and their reputation with stakeholders.
Strategic Energy Transition Insights
We cater to the C-suite with our high-touch executive briefings, spotlighting key topics in oil, gas, and climate by offering concise, actionable energy transition insights that enable busy executives to stay easily informed on the most important decarbonization trends and developments.

New Product Spotlight: Emissions Performance Analytics
Understand asset-level emissions more deeply than ever before.
Emissions Performance Analytics is a standardized asset-level emissions analytics dashboard that enables users to benchmark and track greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions performance across energy and selected industrial sectors. By combining reported emissions, S&P Global proprietary datasets, engineering models, production and activity data, satellite-informed observations, and ownership information, it delivers consistent and comparable emissions and emissions-intensity metrics across assets, companies, sectors, regions, and over time.
Trusted Data
- 24+ billion tons of GHG emissions (CO2e) mapped in 50+ countries
- Global cross-sector: upstream oil and gas, LNG, downstream, and select industrial assets
- 5,600+ public and private companies across the energy and select industrial sectors
- Absolute and Emissions Intensity for 23,000+ facilities
- Time series from 2010 to 2030
- Scope 1 and 2 emissions reported on a gross operational and net equity basis
Key Differentiators
- Combines data from 16+ internal and external sources
- Proprietary models leveraging decades of expertise of the commodities markets to estimate emissions where data is not available
- Independent, transparent and consistent methodology
- Comparable emissions data across companies, assets, sectors and geographies
- Customizable data queries to answer your specific questions
Enhanced Workflows
- Quickly find the answers you need with more streamlined, intuitive data structures.
- Go beyond just understanding emissions data. Now you can compare, contrast and gauge performance across assets, companies, regions, sectors and commodities.
- Analyze intensity drivers, benchmarking, and emissions-intensity curves that help identify opportunities for improvement and emissions reduction.
- Identify where the emission hotspots lie at a granular level in specific locations or business processes
