A global initiative led by former U.S. Vice President Al Gore released the first inventory of site-specific facility sources of greenhouse gases around the planet showing 26 of the 50 biggest sources are oil and gas fields.
The inventory released on Wednesday covers carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide emissions and lists 72,612 individual sites including power plants, steel mills, urban roads, and oil and gas fields. Together they are the top emissions sources for power, shipping, aviation, mining, waste and many other industries.
