Shell vs. the Climate: Expanding Oil and Gas, Fueling the Climate Crisis
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.
Investigating the countries and companies behind Israeli crude oil and fuel supply chains
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.
New Research Exposes Countries and Companies Supplying the Oil Fueling Palestinian Genocide
New data compiled by DataDesk, commissioned by Oil Change International, sheds light on the devastating role of oil fueling the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people.

Troubled Waters: How North Sea Countries Are Fueling Climate Disaster
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.
On Thin Ice: Norway’s Fossil Ambitions and the EU’s Green Energy Future
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.
New Analysis: EU does not need expanded oil and gas supply to meet declining energy demand
A new 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, On Thin Ice, the authors model how EU’s gas demand matches future supply in various forecasted scenarios.
