A Need for a Carbon Dioxide Captured-Amounts Database

The 2020 annual and sustainability reports of eight global petroleum companies (BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Equinor, ExxonMobil, Saudi Aramco, Shell, and TotalEnergies) were examined to discover how much carbon dioxide emission amounts were captured by these companies during their 2020 production operations.   I could find no data in these reports on carbon dioxide amounts captured in 2020. 

Extensive data is reported by these companies on total carbon dioxide emissions, total hydrocarbons produced, and goals for carbon dioxide capture, but not data on how much carbon dioxide was captured in 2020.   This seems to me to be a huge problem in trying to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by carbon dioxide capture at the point of carbon dioxide production.

I suggest a database is needed that will provide the quantities of carbon dioxide that is captured from the gas emissions of industrial companies.  The quantities inputted need to be as a standardized value so that quantities in the database can be compared.  National environmental agencies (e.g., the Environment Protection Agency in the United States) are candidates for maintenance of the databases on a country-by-country basis.  Individual country databases need to tie into a global database managed by an international agency (e.g., the World Bank or the United Nations).  The global database would include the individual country data.  Maintaining the database will require effective collaboration between the public institution keeping the database and the companies providing the data. 

Unless accurate and readily available amounts of carbon dioxide being captured can be accessed in a global, reliably-maintained data base, assessments of a global carbon dioxide capture program will not be able to be evaluated and managed.
