Rosebank Downstream Emissions Projections
According to Equinor, the operator of the proposed Rosebank oil and gas field in Scotland, hydrocarbons extracted from the field could generate up to 250m tCO2e of emissions over 25 years.
These downstream emissions are in addition to the 5.7m tCO2e already predicted from production and extraction activities at the planned floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) over Rosebank’s expected 25-year lifetime.
- The calculation is based on "optimistic" oil production estimates of up to 73,000 boe/d.
- It assumes 100% of sold hydrocarbons are burned by end users, although a significant share is expected to be used as feedstock for petrochemicals.
- Around 16% of downstream emissions are expected to come from "well-to-tank" operations, such as refining and transport.
- Between 102m and 209m tCO2e are predicted from end-use combustion.
