A new EDGI report reveals the BP Whiting Refinery in Indiana as one of America’s top greenhouse gas emitters, releasing over 655 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent between 2010 and 2023. While national direct emissions hit a record low, emissions from fuel suppliers like BP surged — since these companies report emissions based on how their products might burn, not their own operations. Local residents, who’ve witnessed smoke and flames and even had to evacuate, fear serious health consequences. BP insists it’s committed to safety and compliance, but critics warn the EPA’s proposed cuts to reporting requirements undermine accountability. With BP ranking eighth among suppliers and Valero topping the list, communities are demanding more engagement from officials and a voice in decisions that impact their health and environment — calling the current system unsustainable.
