Greenhouse Gas Protocol
Standards and tools for companies and organizations to manage their GHG emissions and become more efficient, resilient, and prosperous.
Upstream Emissions as a Percentage of Overall Lifecycle Emissions
Although the burning of fossil fuels generates most of the potential emissions from most reserves, emissions from production and processing operations (known as “upstream emissions”) can also be important, depending on the reserve type and technologies used.
This chart uses historical GHG emissions data and the targets and timetables in submitted pre-2020 pledges (for 2020 reductions) and INDCs to estimate the average annual change in emissions (decarbonization rate) from 2020-2030.
This chart presents each target against each chosen base year to help facilitate easy comparisons.
