#CarbonMajors is a database of historic production data from 122 of the world’s largest oil, gas, coal, and cement producers.

• Investor-owned companies account for 31% of emissions, with Chevron, ExxonMobil, and BP the three largest contributors.
• State-owned companies are linked to 33%, with Saudi Aramco, Gazprom, and the National Iranian Oil Company being the largest contributors.
• Nation-states account for the remaining 36%.

The Carbon Majors Database: Launch Report

The Carbon Majors database traces 1,421 GtCO2e of cumulative historical emissions from 1854 through 2022 to 122 industrial producers, the CO2 portion of which is equivalent to 72% of global fossil fuel and cement CO2 emissions since 1751. Over 70% of these global CO2 emissions historically can be attributed to just 78 corporate and state producing entities.

“The #CarbonMajors database makes it dramatically easier to document, calculate, and visually demonstrate the growing chasm between the urgent demands of climate reality and the continued reckless and intentional growth of oil and gas production,” said Carroll Muffet, President and CEO of the Center for International Environmental Law #CIEL.

The latest update to the Carbon Majors database does not paint a pretty picture. However, it is a thorough piece of research that helps to shine a bright light on the small number of companies that seem intent on driving all of us off the climate crisis cliff. The database tracks the cumulative emissions of

How much activities are fueling #climateChange in 2024

Carbon is being sent into the air. New study exposes the current amount of greenhouse gas emissions by economic sector.
Using scientific datasets, the project applies statistics to calculate the contributions of carbon-equivalent output in 2024.
Extraction of fossil fuels steadily increases. Land-use change emits very high tonnage/year.

The top 20 highest greenhouse forcing entities collectively accounted for 17.5 GtCO2e in emissions in 2023. The list is dominated by state-owned entities, which make up 16 of the top 20, and includes a significant presence of Chinese entities, eight of which accounted for 17.3% of global fossil fuel and cement #CO2 emissions in 2023.
