Gran Tierra Energy's headquarters is located in California, and the emissions data is sourced directly from Gran Tierra Energy Inc. without any cascading from a parent organisation. The company continues to operate within the oil and gas sector, which is under increasing scrutiny for its environmental impact and carbon footprint.
