Exxon, under investor pressure, discloses emissions from burning its fuels

(Reuters) – Exxon Mobil Corp, under increasing pressure from investors and climate change activists, reported for the first time the emissions that result when customers use its products such as gasoline and jet fuel.

The largest U.S. oil producer said the emissions from its product sales in 2019 were equivalent to 730 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, higher than rival oil majors.

The data comes as the company has drawn the ire of an activist investor focused on its climate performance.
