> Turkmenistan isn't producing all that energy for domestic consumption > It's the consumers, not the producers per se that are the problem.

Irrespective of which party is the proximate cause of energy extraction in Turkmenistan, the large volume leakage of methane according to the article is not an inevitable byproduct of oil drilling. What’s more, the incremental costs of controlling methane emissions are tiny. And finally, consumers couldn’t go re-light methane flares at the drill sites even if they wanted to.

In other words, Turkmen Oil is fucking up and not doing basic methane leak management.

All of the discussions around who is a larger consumer are pointless; the point is that they could be doing more, and at a very small cost to them directly.

>If you adjust by per capita - then all the energy producing countries are top

If you use consumption based accounting, Luxembourg comes out number 1, apparently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_di...
