Energy in Focus

At ConocoPhillips, we safely find and produce natural gas and oil, delivering reliable and affordable energy to the world. 

Famed auto executive Lee Iacocca once said, “Every business and every product has risks. You can't get around it.”

We are proud to announce our involvement in The Environmental Partnership, a new coalition of natural gas and oil companies focused on accelerating environmental performance improvements from operations across the U.S.

As we work to safely find and deliver energy to the world, reducing emissions is a high priority. A recent redesign and refresh of our Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC) allows us to evaluate and prioritize emissions reductions projects across the company, which is important as we have already reduced our annual emissions by almost 7 million tons since 2009.

While no one has a crystal ball that can perfectly predict the future, experts are able to offer some insights about the future of the energy system. We recently posted about IPIECA’s ‘Exploring Low- Emissions Pathways’ report.

ince the Paris Agreement on Climate Change was signed in 2015, addressing climate change concerns has been a significant topic of discussion globally. It’s clear that governments — federal, state/provincial and local — will continue to act on the issue of global climate change over the months and years ahead.
