Produktbeschreibung
The push for sustainability in the oil and gas sector has taken center stage in both climate action debates and mitigation/adaptation efforts in recent decades. As the global mission for sustainable energy increasingly moves away from oil and gas as primary resources, the study of sustainability in the industry is often posited as counterintuitive. However, it is imperative to unearth methods to integrate sustainability efforts in the oil and gas industry, as it will likely retain its prominence in the foreseeable future. This book ignites academic discussion regarding ongoing and necessary mitigation and adaptation strategies in the oil and gas industry that will help address the ongoing climate crisis.

The chapters featured in this collection pose several important queries regarding current sustainability efforts in the oil and gas industry and propose avenues for improvement. In particular, they focus on carbon emissions in exploration and production, land use patterns andbiodiversity, and ethics in the oil and gas industry. Working against the background of the UN Agenda 2030 and Sustainable Development Goals, this book will be of great interest to academics and students of sustainability strategies, energy, innovation, and business ethics, as well as policymakers and practitioners tasked with analyzing these areas.
