Climate Accountability Institute (CAI) has reviewed the environmental assessments by the East
Africa Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP), a consortium of the oil companies TotalEnergies (France) and
China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) for the purpose of transporting crude oil from
their fields at Tilenga and Kingfisher at Lake Albert through the proposed 1,443 km pipeline to the
Marine Storage Terminal at Port Tanga, Tanzania. CAI’s evaluation of the EACOP assessments of
greenhouse gas emissions attributable to the pipeline’s construction phase and its 25-year
operational life is that the source identification, emissions quantification, detailed calculations, and
documentation are neither reliable nor complete. Neither report presents energy use data in the
needed detail for our verification or additional emission calculations.
