The Greenhouse Gas Impacts of Increased US Oil and Gas Production

Daniel Raimi

No 19-03, RFF Working Paper Series from Resources for the Future

Abstract: Comparing a high and low oil and gas production scenario, US emissions are 2% to 10% higher in 2030.Non-US CO2 emissions are 450 million metric tons higher, similar to the 2016 fossil fuel emissions of Brazil.The greenhouse gas impact of increased US oil production may be more substantial than increased gas production.Differences in US GHG emissions under different scenarios are driven by methane, rather than carbon dioxide emissions.
