Decarbonizing the Downstream Oil and Gas Industry Report Overview

The downstream sector contributed to approximately 41% of the total emissions in oil operations in 2022. The integral nature of carbon to its processes means it has fewer options for decarbonization, making it an important focus area. Electrification can be used within the downstream sector to help reduce operational emissions and energy consumption as well as to improve operations. However, electrification is not easily applicable to high-energy intensity processes and needs to be adopted in combination with other energy transition technologies.

The ‘Decarbonizing the Downstream Oil and Gas Industry’ report identifies the requirements for meeting emissions targets and introduces the energy transition interventions most suited to decarbonizing the downstream oil and gas industry. The measures discussed include process efficiency, low-carbon hydrogen, electrification, carbon capture, and alternative feedstocks.

Downstream Oil and Gas Industry - Decarbonization Technologies

The decarbonization technologies in the downstream oil and gas industry are process optimization, low-carbon hydrogen, CCS, electrification, and alternative feedstock. Emission reduction within the downstream sector can take place by increasing efficiencies as well as by diversifying products into low-carbon refined and chemical products through technology adoption. However, all of these measures will carry a significant cost implication.

Low-Carbon Hydrogen: Using low-carbon hydrogen will help downstream companies reduce their emission footprint by averting the embedded emissions from grey hydrogen. The adoption of blue hydrogen would require downstream companies to apply a CCUS retrofit to their existing grey hydrogen production setup.

Decarbonizing the Downstream Oil and Gas Industry - Optimizing Downstream Processes

Downstream oil and gas operations add significant carbon emissions to the overall oil and gas value chain. Streamlining inefficient processes in the downstream sector of the oil and gas industry can be achieved through machinery upgrades and digitalization. Digitalization through combinations of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence are enabling the oil and gas industry to improve productivity and profitability by identifying the inefficiencies within operations. These technologies can also deliver actionable insights to extend the life of an existing oil and gas asset which will be key in managing aging assets.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
