This is now possible thanks to the recently published
major carbon
producers analysis by Richard Heede of the Climate Mitigation Service, Tracing anthropogenic carbon dioxide and methane emissions to fossil fuel and
cement producers, 1854 - 2010.
«Nearly two - thirds of all industrial carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions can be traced to the products of a small number of
major industrial carbon
producers; 83
producers of coal, oil, natural gas, and 7
cement manufacturers,» the study found.
This discussion paper outlines the case for fossil fuel
producers and
cement manufacturers (the «Carbon
Majors») to provide funding via the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage for communities suffering loss and damage from climate change.

The worksheets available below constitute the details each entity's production of oil & NGLs, natural gas, coal, and
cement from as early as 1854 to 2010, as well as additional sources of emissions (such as vented CO2, flared CO2, own fuel use, and vented or fugitive methane), non-energy uses of oil, gas, and coal, emission factors for each fuel, calculation of emissions attributed to each Carbon
Major producer, and several summary worksheets by fuel and for cumulative emissions by all entities.
The Carbon
Majors website is based on ground - breaking research on 90 entities (investor - owned, state - owned, and government - run fossil fuel and
cement producers) that are responsible for producing the fuels that have resulted in 63 percent of the global cumulative emissions of industrial carbon dioxide and methane between 1751 and 2010.
