Qatar is largest producer of LNG and it produces oil and other petrochemicals. Therefore, its carbon emissions are high. However, alot is being done to check emissions at Industry level. Already, it has cut down on flaring associated with oil production. Since, there are alot of new LNG trains coming that are also world's first and biggest, there is flaring during their commissioning but these are being checked and once the operations are stable there will be much less emissions. However, the per capita emissions will always be great in this country because having a small population base it produces and supplies the world's largest amounts of LNG and oil. It is producing all the emissions here so that the rest of the globe can have clean energy in the form of LNG and GTL. Overall, result is the same - produce more emissions here and have less emissions while consuming energy in other parts of the world. That is why there is a concept called NIMBY = Not in my back yard. This is practiced in USA as there has not been new refineries built in the last 30 years in the USA but in Qatar we do not seem to mind it.
