Cosan SA, based in Argentina, extracts, refines or transports oil, gas and coal. Climate TRACE attributes 1 high-emitting asset to it. Its largest tracked activities are oil refining.

Produces fossil fuelsOil, gas and coal are extracted, processed and moved at scale.
Methane can leakProduction and transport can release methane, a very potent short-term greenhouse gas.
Burned downstreamWhen the fuels are used elsewhere, they release large amounts of CO₂.

How it's allowed

Signals below are derived from emissions data and ownership coverage only, not from any legal or regulatory finding.

Permitted Emissions
These emissions appear to occur under existing permits and regulations. Operating legally is not the same as operating cleanly.
Ownership Data Gaps
Only 50% of this entity's attributed emissions trace to a clearly identified owner. Incomplete ownership data limits accountability.
Methane Exposure
Oil and gas operations can release methane, a greenhouse gas far more potent than CO₂ over the short term. Leakage is often under-measured.
Low Measurement Confidence
Measurement confidence for this entity is low; figures are best-available estimates.
No Verified Enforcement or Lobbying Record
This dataset contains no verified enforcement actions, lobbying records, subsidies, or litigation for this entity. Absence of evidence here is not evidence of compliance or of any violation.

Climate Villains makes no claim that any entity has broken any law. These are data-derived signals, not allegations.

Trend
Not enough historyn/a

Not enough history to chart a trend yet.

Not enough years of attributed data yet to judge the direction. Attributed emissions.

It ranks #1541 mainly because its attributed assets emitted about 351.6 kt CO₂e in 2024 (≈ 76.4k cars/yr).

The Climate Damage Score is driven by that absolute size on a log scale, with no trend adjustment applied.

What's known · what isn't

What’s known

  • Attributed emissions: 351.6 kt CO₂e in 2024 (≈ 76.4k cars/yr).
  • Primary sector: Fossil Fuels; primary country: Argentina.
  • Evidence: 1 asset; ~50% ownership-attribution coverage.
  • Source: Climate TRACE (CC BY 4.0).

What isn’t

  • Exact ownership percentages: Climate TRACE lists owners but not stakes, so shared assets are split equally.
  • Indirect (supply-chain / financed / product-use) emissions are not included.
  • Some of this sector's emissions could not be attributed to any named owner.
  • Only one year of attributed data is available, so the trend is not yet reliable.
  • No PR claims, lobbying records, litigation history or policy-compliance data are included.
