Scope 3 Emissions and the Energy Transition: A Glimpse into the Regulatory Challenges and Corporate Disclosure Practices in the Oil and Gas Industry

The complexities of Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions disclosures in the oil and gas sector highlight significant regulatory challenges and varied corporate practices among industry leaders. Scope 3 emissions, which account for most of the sector’s carbon footprint, illuminate systemic barriers to achieving global climate goals.

Efficient Development of Clean Energy Infrastructure: Converting Retired Fossil Fuel Plants to Battery Storage  

One critical way that the build-out of renewable energy, vital for combating climate change, faces obstacles is in the lack of necessary infrastructure to accommodate it. The electric grid, to which all energy-generating facilities must connect to transmit power, is a critical part of this infrastructure. Battery storage helps with this buildout because it can store, and release later, wind and solar energy when their production is lower from lack of wind or sunshine. 

The Office of Public Participation at FERC: From Launch to Implementation

For several decades, the American public has had substantial interest and engagement in urgent and transformative energy matters impacting their communities, including during the oil crises of the 1970s and the California energy crisis in the early 2000s. Arguably, however, over the course of this last decade, the public’s interest and demand for involvement in energy policy development has reached an all-time high resulting from the confluence of various social, environmental and economic factors.
