Energy Transition Briefing Paper

CarbonTP was engaged by Buru Energy in 2021 to prepare a briefing paper for their Board on the impact of the energy transition on the future of the oil and gas sector.

As the level of attention focused on carbon emissions by governments, investors, lenders and emitting corporations increases exponentially, companies must navigate the financial, commercial and technical complexities of transitioning to a low carbon future.

The Briefing Paper addressed the key aspects of the energy transition and discusses the implications for companies operating in the Australian oil and gas sector together with their carbon management strategies. The paper focused on the following key topics as they relate to the Energy Transition:

• Future access to finance [debt & equity] and insurance
• Emissions target setting and intensity trajectories
• Stakeholder pressure as the catalyst for change
• Integrating emissions considerations into future investments and portfolio considerations
• The increasing complexity of Capital Allocation in growth scenarios
