Therefore, giving out these leases in the Gulf of Mexico would be increasing global emissions.” “If new leases expand the global oil supply, that has a proportional effect on emissions from burning oil. “The math is extremely simple on this kind of stuff," said Erickson, a senior scientist with the Stockholm Environment Institute, a nonprofit research group. Climate scientist Peter Erickson's work was cited by judges in one of the cases, and he said the Interior Department's analysis had a glaring omission: It excluded greenhouse gas increases in foreign countries that result from having more Gulf oil enter the market. Similar claims in two other cases, in Alaska, were rejected by federal courts after challenges from environmentalists. Gulf of Mexico,” said Shell spokesperson Cindy Babski.Įnvironmental reviews of the sale - conducted under former President Donald Trump and affirmed under Biden - reached an unlikely conclusion: Extracting and burning the fuel would result in fewer greenhouse gases than leaving it. “Regardless of today's outcome, the need absolutely continues for continued competitive leases in the U.S. Shell, the largest leaseholder in the Gulf, said the leases that the company successfully bid on could offer development opportunities near existing platforms or new areas. Federal officials estimated prior to the sale that it could lead to the production of up to 1.1 billion barrels of oil and 4.4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Wednesday's livestreamed auction invited energy companies to bid on drilling leases across 136,000 square miles (352,000 square kilometers) - about twice the area of Florida. “We still need this energy system that is basically causing climate change, even as we’re fighting climate change.” “The thing that is really bedeviling people right now is this conflict between the short term and long term when it comes to energy policy,” said Jim Krane, an energy studies fellow at Rice University in Houston. carbon dioxide emissions, according to the U.S. Interior Department officials proceeded despite concluding that burning the fuels could lead to billions of dollars in potential future climate damages.Įmissions from burning and extracting fossil fuels from public lands and waters account for about a quarter of U.S. The administration last week proposed another round of oil and gas lease sales in 2022, in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and other western states. Yet even as Biden has tried to cajole other world leaders into strengthening international efforts against global warming, including at this month’s climate talks in Scotland, he’s had difficulty gaining ground on climate issues at home. 
That means they could keep producing long past 2030, when scientists say the world needs to be well on the way to cutting greenhouse gas emissions to avoid catastrophic climate change. It will take years to develop the leases before companies start pumping crude. They're certainly not going to accelerate the number of lease sales and they could potentially have fewer sales.” “The other thing is this fear that the Biden administration is here for another three years. “Prices are higher now than they've been since 2018," said Rene Santos with S&P Global Platts.
