North West Shelf project extension emissions are scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions set out in the EPA application

Qantas domestic emissions are scope 1 and 2 emissions in 2023-24 as reported to the Clean Energy Regulator

Australian total agriculture emissions are the sum of agricultural emissions in the December 2024 National Greenhouse Gas Inventory

Emissions from all Australian gas plants derived from the primary fuel type in the 2023-24 electricity sector emissions data

Switzerland and Ireland total 2023 emissions sourced from Our World in Data

Apple’s emissions based on information from its 2024 environmental progress report, with more information about why renewable energy certificates and offsets are excluded here
