8.126. According to Mr. Heede, respondents Royal Dutch Shell,
Chevron, Statoil , Total, Hess, BP, and ConocoPhillips do estimate and submit
to the carbon accounting non-profit organization Carbon Disclosure Project
(“ CDP” ) their product-related emissions (respondent ExxonMobil only
estimates emissions for products sold in New Zealand, USA, and Quebec).546
Although each company’s methodology differs, they are roughly
comparable to Mr. Heede’ s internally consistent methodology 547 CDP
and CAI collaborated on a “guidance methodology report for calculating
emissions from carbon production by fuel.»548
