Baytex Energy's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Baytex Energy reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,091,030,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions accounting for about 1,001,008,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 90,022,000 kg CO2e. The company has disclosed emissions data across all three scopes, including significant Scope 3 emissions of about 1,091,030,000 kg CO2e. Baytex Energy has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, indicating a lack of formalised strategies for emissions reduction. The company’s emissions intensity for Scope 1 and Scope 2 combined was reported at approximately 47,000 kg CO2e per barrel of oil equivalent (boe) in 2022. Overall, while Baytex Energy has made strides in transparency regarding its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context.
