Oil Change International

Part of the Beyond Oil Coalition, Oil Change International works to provide information about the true costs of oil and facilitate the coming transition toward clean energy. With this proposed grant, Oil Change International will produce analysis and materials that will support campaigns to reduce the environmental impact of oil from production to consumption. Two examples include research and reports on (1) the costs the oil industry is not paying due to loopholes in existing environmental laws such as the Safe Water Drinking Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and (2) the trajectory of U.S. refinery emissions to support the implementation of a strong EPA greenhouse gas refinery rule.

Oil Change International is a research, communications, and advocacy organization working domestically and internationally to increase transparency and accountability of the oil and related fossil fuel industries. The overall goal is to support the transition to a clean energy economy and secure a climate safe future. One of their priorities is the fossil fuels subsidies reform that includes identifying financial barriers for the transition to clean technologies and providing information about what is possible and necessary under the Paris Climate Agreement.
