The Saudi Arabian petroleum and national gas company, Saudi Aramco, is the world's largest corporate greenhouse gas emitter, having emitted almost 70 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO₂) between 1965 and 2020. The 20 biggest polluters were responsible for just over 600 GtCO₂e during this period, accounting for roughly 30 percent of the entire world's fossil fuel and cement CO₂ emissions.
