Study: Existing oil, gas, and coal extraction sites need to be closed down to stay within 1.5°C, findings show

Ceasing new oil, gas, and coal development is not enough—already built extraction facilities must be prematurely decommissioned—warns a new study released today in Environmental Research Letters.

Existing Fossil Fuel Fields and Mines Must Be Closed to Meet 1.5°C Goal, Study Finds

In 2021, the International Energy Agency (IEA) warned that, in order to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, no new oil and gas fields or coal mines could be developed.

"El caos climático está asegurado si el petróleo y el gas siguen adelante" (in Spanish)

La principal autoridad energética del mundo ha advertido de los graves efectos que tendrá la inversión en grandes desarrollos de petróleo y gas. Mantener los proyectos que hay en marcha sería de escasa utilidad tanto en la actual crisis energética como para bajar los precios del combustible, pero significarían acelerar la devastación del planeta. Fatih Birol, el director ejecutivo de la Agencia Internacional de Energía (IEA), considera que los países deben buscar reemplazar el petróleo y el gas rusos en el corto plazo sin dañar sus perspectivas a largo plazo. De lo contrario, "el caos climático está asegurado", señala.
