US-based oil and gas majors are lagging well behind their European counterparts when it comes to plans for cutting emissions to comply with the Paris climate deal, according to analysis released Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\n <\/section>\n

The 2015 accord seeks to limit global temperature rises to “well below” two degrees Celsius (3.6 Farenheit) above pre-industrial levels through sweeping cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. <\/p>\n

Prompted by national commitments as part of the Paris deal, a number of large energy companies, including BP and Shell, have recently announced plans to reach “net zero” emissions by 2050.
\nIf a company is net zero, it is removing as many emissions as it produces.
\nMarket analyst Carbon Tracker looked at the plans that energy majors had announced to curb their carbon pollution, be that by transitioning away from fossil fuels or investing in new CO2 reducing technology<\/a>.
\nIt concluded that European companies such as ENI and Repsol\u2014which include in their reduction plans so-called Scope 3 emissions that make up the vast majority of their footprints\u2014as among the most Paris-friendly majors.
\nIn contrast, it said that US behemoths ExxonMobil, Chevron and ConocoPhillips were failing to align their business plans with the world’s carbon budget\u2014that is, how much more we can pollute before the Paris goals are out of reach.
\n“Of the three US majors, the highest ranked company, Chevron, has committed to cut just the equivalent of 1-3 percent in overall emissions,” said Mike Coffin, an oil and gas analyst at Carbon Tracker who compiled Wednesday’s report. <\/p>\n

“It’s a tiny amount. And they’re the best.”
\nChevron and ConocoPhillips did not respond for requests for comment from AFP.
\nExxonMobil said it supported the Paris deal but pointed out that the accord “does not contemplate or require individual companies to reduce production”.
\nAll three companies have pledged to reduce their Scope 1 and 2 emissions\u2014direct and indirect emissions from their operations.
\nBut they have held off plans for Scope 3 emissions. These are the emissions produced when purchasers burn the oil and gas extracted by the majors.
\nThe energy industry continues to invest overwhelmingly in new oil and gas fields that contain more than enough carbon pollution to blow the Paris temperature goals out of the water.
\n“In order to reach the Paris targets oil and gas consumption needs to go down,” Coffin told AFP.
\n“Whether that’s through policy, environmental concerns from consumers, or investors recognising the financial risks\u2014whatever the reason, it poses a problem to oil and gas producers because there is less demand for their products.”<\/p>\n
