General information
· "...a database of historical production data from 0 of the world’s largest oil, gas, coal, and cement
producers. This data is used to quantify the direct operational emissions and emissions from the
combustion of marketed products that can be attributed to these entities.
· "...identifies the top 100 coal and the top 100 oil and gas publicly-traded reserve holders globally,
ranked by the potential carbon emissions content of their reported reserves.”
Climate Accountability Scorecard @ UCS
· "An in-depth analysis of eight major fossil fuel companies finds they continue to spread
climate disinformation and have failed to adequately plan their businesses for a
low-carbon world."
· “...a research program of the Independent Petroleum Association of America... Energy In Depth –
Climate and nvironment, is focusded on getting the facts out about the coordinated effort to
bring frivolous lawsuits against oil and gas producers for climate related concerns.”
Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI)
Mapping Fossil Fuel Resistance
Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI)
· "OGCI companies set a target to reduce the collective average methane intensity of our aggregated
upstream gas and oil operation s to below 0.25% by 2025, with the ambition to achieve 0.20%.”
Oil & Water series @ The Intercept
Advocacy & politics
· Most organizations working on climate change focus on reducing fossil fuel consumption. These
can be found at the NGOs page (organizations with a climate change focus are highlighted in
yellow). Those below specifically focus on "fossil fuels" in their name.
Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty
No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge [USA]
Public Accountability Initiative (PAI)
· “...a nonprofit public interest research organization focused on corporate and government accountability.
We specialize in researching and mapping power..... We conduct research on a wide range of corporate
and government accountability issues, but focus much of our research on two of the most powerful
industries in our economy: Wall Street and the oil and gas industry.”

Coal
Beyond Coal campaign @ Sierra Club
· "CoalSwarm wiki is a collection of over 9,000 articles about coal."
· A network of environmental organizations "developed this site to provide a resource for local
communities, activists, students and researchers who would like to learn more about why
coal is not the solution to the world’s energy needs and how you can work to stop the
expansion of coal and promote better alternatives for meeting energy needs."

Oil
Oil Sustainability Programme @ Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
· “...launched in 2020 with the participation of multiple government agencies, research institutions and
companies. The OSP’s ambition is to create opportunities and applications for Hydrocarbons globally as
a competitive source of energy, both from an economic and an environmental point of view, while
ensuring Hydrocarbons remain part of the global energy mix in the most efficient and sustainable way.
The program enables and supports the transition by removing barriers to energy access in developing
markets, accelerating technological advancements, and increasing sustainability.”

Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership (GGFR) @ World Bank
· “...launched at COP26 by the European Union and the United States who have been joined by many
countries. In March 2024, GMP counted 158 participants. Participants joining the Pledge agree to take
voluntary actions to contribute to a collective effort to reduce global methane emissions at least 30
percent from 2020 levels by 2030. This is a global, not a national reduction target. With 158 country
participants, representing a little over 50% of global anthropogenic methane emissions, we are well
on our way to achieving the Pledge goal.”

· A very helpful resource for visualizing/disambiguating anti-pipeline advocacy efforts across
North America.
Fossil fuels
Energy institutions
Note that all institutions directly related to energy are on the Energy Institutions page.
Since fossil fuels constitute the core causal factor in climate change and a number of environmental challenges, the topic of fossil fuels permeates many pages at EarthWeb.info. This page focuses on
various particular aspects of fossil fuels and efforts to minimize or eliminate their use.
