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).>
Although
each
company’s
methodology
differs,
they
are
roughly
comparable to Mr. Heede’s internally consistent methodology.**”
CDP
and CAI collaborated on a “guidance methodology report for calculating
emissions from carbon production by fuel.
