ADNOC Drilling's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, ADNOC Drilling reported total carbon emissions of approximately 534,764,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions accounting for about 534,361,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 403,000 kg CO2e. This marked an increase from 2021, when total emissions were about 425,024,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 421,827,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 3,197,000 kg CO2e. In 2020, the company recorded total emissions of around 436,800,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions of approximately 429,557,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of about 7,243,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, ADNOC Drilling has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, ADNOC Drilling's future strategies will likely need to align with global climate goals to enhance its environmental performance.
