QUEL SCÉNARIO DE RÉFÉRENCE POUR QUELLE POLITIQUE SECTORIELLE ?

The report asserts that new gas exploration, production, and LNG export terminals are incompatible with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. It highlights that existing fossil fuel infrastructure already threatens to exceed remaining carbon budgets and calls for financial institutions to immediately cease funding gas expansion across the entire value chain.

• Science-based scenarios indicate that new gas exploration, production projects, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals hinder the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C, particularly those with little to no overshoot and limited reliance on negative emissions.
• According to the IPCC, future greenhouse gas emissions from existing fossil fuel infrastructure are already projected to exceed the cumulative net CO2e emissions remaining for 1.5°C pathways with zero or limited overshoot. Consequently, global oil and gas production and consumption must decrease by 30% by 2030 compared to 2022 levels, representing an average annual decline of 3%.
• The International Energy Agency's (IEA) Net-Zero Emissions by 2050 (NZE) scenario considers new gas projects in exploration-production and LNG export terminals (midstream) incompatible with the 1.5°C target. The IEA warns of LNG infrastructure overcapacity in its World Energy Outlook 2024, noting that existing infrastructure is already sufficient to meet global needs.
• Reclaim Finance recommends that financial actors stop presenting gas as a transition energy and commit to a short-term total cessation of financial services supporting gas expansion across the entire value chain, including power generation, new gas fields, and LNG export terminals.
