Chevron's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Chevron reported total carbon emissions of approximately 52000000000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 2000000000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 576000000000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a continued reliance on fossil fuels, with significant emissions stemming from the use of sold products. Over the years, Chevron has shown fluctuations in its emissions. For instance, in 2022, the company emitted about 53000000000 kg CO2e in Scope 1, 4000000000 kg CO2e in Scope 2, and 592000000000 kg CO2e in Scope 3. The trend indicates a need for enhanced strategies to mitigate emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which represents the majority of their carbon footprint. Despite these figures, Chevron has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of defined reduction goals may impact their long-term sustainability and climate strategy, especially as global pressure mounts for the oil and gas sector to transition towards lower carbon operations. As Chevron continues to navigate its climate commitments, the focus remains on addressing the substantial emissions associated with its operations and product usage, which are critical for aligning with global climate goals.
