Bp's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, BP reported total carbon emissions of approximately 32800000000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 800000000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and a significant 322000000000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This reflects BP's ongoing commitment to addressing climate change and reducing its carbon footprint across all operational levels. BP has set ambitious targets to achieve net zero emissions across its operations by 2050 or sooner. Specifically, the company aims for a 20% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by the end of 2025, with a further target of 50% reduction by 2030, using 2019 as the baseline. For Scope 3 emissions, BP is targeting a reduction of 10-15% by 2025 and 20-30% by 2030 against the same baseline. These commitments are part of BP's broader strategy to transition towards a more sustainable energy model, aligning with global climate goals. The company is actively working to maintain near-zero methane intensity across its operated assets, which is crucial for achieving its net zero ambitions.
