US investment in GHG mitigation technologies

摘要

According to a study conducted by T2 and Associates on behalf of the American Petroleum Institute, North American investments in greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigating technologies are estimated to have totaled $225 billion between 2000 and 2010 (Fig. 1). Over the 2000-2010 period, the US-based oil and natural gas industry invested an estimated $108 billion in GHG mitigating technologies including shale gas, and $71 billion without shale gas investments, other US-based private industries invested an estimated $74 billion, and the US federal government invested an estimated $43 billion.
