@alda OFC Franchise models and their subsequent infrastructure are as complex as brands in general.

  • I.e. a lot of brands are only used in the #USA (or #Europe) due to "#brand value" (i.e. noone here knows #Texaco / #Chevron unless they saw it in #US media or in person elsewhere!)

For example, #bp canceled their own brand in favour of using #ARAL for gas stations in #Germany, and #ORLEN also operates a 2nd brand, #star.

  • To add more confusion, both ARAL/bp and Shell in Germany get their gasoline and Diesel from the exact same refinery, and merely have minor changes in mixture done for them.

“Die Hälfte all dieser Emissionen entfällt sogar nur auf 36 Unternehmen, zu denen größtenteils staatliche Unternehmen wie China Energy Investment, die National Iranian Oil Company, #Gazprom aus Russland und #Adnoc aus den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten gehören. Der größte CO₂-Verursacher unter ihnen ist der saudi-arabische Staatskonzern #Aramco. Zehn der 36 befinden sich in China. Die fünf größten CO₂-Verursacher, die im Besitz von Investoren sind, sind #Exxon Mobil, #Chevron, #Shell, #Total Energies und #BP. Sie sind insgesamt für etwa fünf Prozent der weltweiten fossilen CO₂-Emissionen verantwortlich.” #AchseDesBoesen #justStopOil #keepItInTheGround #DrillBabyDrill 🫤
