Similarly, the company doesn't factor in the emissions associated with producing natural gas.
Green groups pointed to the rise in renewable energy generation, which hit 19% last year, as a key factor in the emissions fall.
"Cremation demands a lot of energy, but then, if you're not anywhere near a woodland burial site, you have to factor in the emissions created by travel". In fact, research by the Corpse Project found that "mourners' travel" was the most significant contributor to carbon emissions at any sort of funeral.
But environmental backers countered that a barrel of oil produced in this fashion is responsible for 37percentt fewer carbon dioxide emissions — after factoring in the emissions sequestered in the production process —than a barrel produced by conventional means.
For a start, how far back up the supply chain do you go? Academic "life-cycle analyses" go into painstaking detail, factoring in the emissions associated with building factories in which food is produced, for example.
Even factoring in the emissions associated with electricity used to charge EVs, these cars are significantly cleaner than conventional vehicles (and of course using solar power to charge them is the cleanest choice).
Williams said Americans' lifestyles are a major factor in the increased emissions.
Natural gas may burn cleaner than coal and oil, but when you factor in the greenhouse gas emissions produced during the extraction process it may be no better.
They also voted to consider default value "ILUC" (indirect land use change) factors in determining the emissions from biofuel production.
The war-and-carbon discussion starts to get distinctly uncomfortable (and methodologically just about impossible) at the point where we start factoring in the indirect emissions impact caused by the human and economic impacts of the war.
