Shell's direct GHG emissions (Scope 1) totaled roughly 50 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e) in 2023. Carbon dioxide was the most abundant GHG produced by Shell that year, with 49 million metric tons released. The total direct greenhouse gas emissions of Shell have...
Food systems contribute one-third of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, roughly 16.5 GtCO2e year−1from a total 54 GtCO2e year−11,2, with both pre- and post-production phases representing a high and increasing share of total emissions3. The Food and Agriculture Organizati...

According to the IPCC, the anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions contributing most evidently to Global Warming in terms of relative radiative forcing are CO2 , CH4 , halocarbons and N2O. CO2 emissions originate mainly from combustion of fossil fuels, and are quite well-known. However, ...
Thedirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from facilities we operate (Scope 1) were 50 million tonnes on a CO2-equivalent basis in 2023, down from 51 million tonnes of CO2equivalent in 2022. The indirect GHG emissions from the energy we purchased (electricity, heat and steam) (Scope 2) were...
Real-time data indicate that global greenhouse gas emissions continued to increase in 2023. The Big Three Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most important greenhouse gas, and its atmospheric concentration is measured in parts per million (ppm). Methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) are also extraord...
Absolute scopes 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions did not reduce between 2016 and 2022, but for the majority of industry groups in the dataset, the intensity of scope 1 emissions declined. The utilities, materials, energy, and transportation...
Stabilizing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from croplands as agricultural demand grows is a critical component of climate change mitigation. Emissions intensity metrics--including carbon dioxide equivalent emissions per kilocalorie produced (`production intensity')--can highlight regions, management practices...
Growing consumption is both necessary to end extreme poverty1and one of the main drivers of greenhouse gas emissions2, creating a potential tension between alleviating poverty and limiting global warming. Most poverty reduction has historically occu
CALGARY, AB,Nov. 7, 2024/PRNewswire/ -- Absolute greenhouse gas emissions from Canadian oil sands production registered a nominal increase of less than 1% in 2023 even as total production grew, according to anew anal...
