57 Companies Responsible for 80% of Carbon Emissions

Eighty percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions between 2016 and 2022 can be linked to just 57 companies, according to a new report.
And data published by Carbon Majors, a group of researchers from across the world, showed that many of these companies — some owned privately, others owned by nation-states — have increased their carbon emissions during that time.
The Paris climate agreement was signed by most of the world's countries at the end of 2015. It is a legally binding agreement, and its main aim is to limit the Earth's temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
However, the data showed that in the seven years after the agreement was signed, most fossil fuel companies released more emissions compared to the seven years before the agreement.
The Carbon Majors data goes back to 1854, and also lists all the biggest polluters during that entire time.
China's coal industry was responsible for the largest share of carbon emissions between 1854 and 2022 — 14% of them.
Other big producers over that time included the former Soviet Union, Saudi Arabia's state-owned oil company Aramco and US fuel firm Chevron.
Aramco is also responsible for almost 5% of the world's fossil fuel emissions since 2016, making it the top recent producer, if nation-states are excluded. State-owned companies from Iran, Iraq, Russia, China, India and the UAE are also in the top 10, along with ExxonMobil and Shell, which are privately owned.
Richard Heede, who established the Carbon Majors dataset in 2013, said it's clear who is to blame for the climate crisis. "Don't blame consumers who have been forced to be reliant on oil and gas," he said.

He said it is "morally reprehensible" for oil and gas companies to be expanding their production at a time when the world knows the effects of carbon emissions.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for oil company Shell said: "We continue to make good progress on our climate targets," including the company's aim of having net zero emissions by 2050.
