Oil-Climate Index Q&A

Fri. September 4th, 2015

Deborah Gordon, Adam Brandt, Joule Bergerson, and Jonathan Koomey participated in a Reddit ‘Ask Me Anything’ to discuss the Oil-Climate Index (OCI), a first-of-its-kind tool that analyzes the overall climate impacts of different oils from extraction to refining to combustion. The OCI research team took questions from Reddit users about their methodology, their results, and future prospects for the OCI. The team also discussed interesting variations in different oils’ climate impacts, which are not sufficiently considered by policymakers or priced into the market.
