“More than half of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2023 can be linked to just 36 fossil fuel and cement producers, according to a report from the Carbon Majors database.
“The top five state-owned emitters — Saudi Aramco, Coal India, CHN Energy, National Iranian Oil Company and Jinneng Group — accounted for nearly a fifth of all global emissions in 2023.
“The top five investor-owned emitters — ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, TotalEnergies and BP — made up 5 per cent of emissions.
“The report’s findings are based on a database that traces the emissions from production and combustion of products from 180 of the largest oil, gas, coal and cement producers from 1854 to 2023.”
