As CERAWeek – the fossil fuel industry’s largest annual conference of the year – kicks off today, industry insiders will be out in force to continue peddling greenwashing schemes that claim “certified” gas is “cleaner” and less harmful to the climate.
Climate and social movements have forced oil and gas companies to acknowledge that fossil fuels are dirty and dangerous. At the industry’s biggest event of the year – CERAWeek 2024 – Big Oil and their government enablers will try to fool the world into believing they have solutions for a livable planet when, in reality, they’re trying to suck every last ounce of profit out of their dirty business.
As Shell prepares to appeal a court order to reduce emissions by 45%, a new report from Milieudefensie and Oil Change International reveals the company has flagrantly continued to expand oil and gas projects since the 2021 court ruling, defying orders to align its plans with what is required to curb the climate crisis.
Today the board of the US Export-Import Bank (EXIM) approved $500 million to expand oil and gas production in Bahrain, despite Biden’s commitment to end international public finance for fossil fuels made in 2021.Â

REPORTS & BRIEFINGS
This briefing assesses Shell’s fossil fuel extraction plans in light of Shell's appeal of a Dutch court verdict requiring the company to take responsibility for its climate pollution. Our analysis shows that Shell continues to plan for levels of oil and gas production and investment that undermine the world’s chances of curtailing climate disaster.
Oil Change International commissioned Data Desk to provide an overview of the supply chains that are currently bringing crude oil and refined products to Israel, focusing on fuel supplies to the country's armed forces.Â
The countries that produce oil and gas from the North Sea (Norway, the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark) rank among the countries with the greatest economic capacity and responsibility to rapidly phase out extraction, and to finance just transitions to renewable energy solutions domestically and abroad.
This report finds that the EU’s demand for gas is set to decline significantly in line with climate targets, eliminating the need to expand supply from new fields or infrastructure. In the report the authors model how EU’s gas demand matches future supply in various forecasted scenarios.
