In 2023, Apa reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,793,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 221,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. This marks a reduction in Scope 1 emissions from 1,609,000,000 kg CO2e in 2022, where Scope 2 emissions were slightly higher at 215,000,000 kg CO2e. The company has shown a significant decrease in Scope 1 emissions over the years, down from 2,067,000,000 kg CO2e in 2019. Despite these reductions, Apa has not set specific science-based targets (SBTi) or documented reduction initiatives. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data indicates a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. The company operates within the mineral fuels and oils sector, which is known for its substantial carbon footprint, highlighting the importance of ongoing efforts to mitigate emissions. Overall, while Apa has made strides in reducing its direct emissions, the lack of formal reduction targets and comprehensive emissions data suggests that further commitments are necessary to align with industry standards and global climate goals.
