That's interesting I wasn't aware of this. Would you by chance have a source for this data? I'd be interested to see the true numbers.
yeah its in like page 1 or 2 of the primary source the stat comes from one sec ill get it
Direct operational emissions (Scope 16
) and
emissions from the use of sold products (Scope 3:
Category 11) are attributed to the extraction and
production of oil, gas, and coal. Scope 1 emissions
arise from the self-consumption of fuel, flaring, and
venting or fugitive releases of methane.
Scope 3 emissions account for 90% of total
company emissions and result from the downstream
combustion of coal, oil, and gas for energy purposes.
A small fraction of fossil fuel production is used in
non-energy applications which sequester carbon.
