Oil and gas companies accused of ‘marketing and spin’ after vowing to cut emissions despite producing billions of tonnes of CO2
OIL and gas companies were accused of offering spin over substance yesterday as they vowed to cut emissions despite being projected to produce billions of tonnes of CO2 in coming years.
A new analysis by Global Witness has revealed fossil fuel firms that promised to reduce emissions at the Cop28 summit will produce the equivalent of 150 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide by 2050.
Fifty firms, including Shell, ExxonMobil, Equinor and TotalEnergies, promised to make their operations net zero by 2050 during the climate conference in Dubai last month.
