In 2021, Birchcliff Energy reported total carbon emissions of approximately 353,192,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, which includes direct emissions from their operations, and about 34,693,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, which covers indirect emissions from purchased electricity. This represents a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, with Scope 1 emissions rising from about 322,063,000 kg CO2e in 2020 and Scope 2 emissions increasing from approximately 38,312,000 kg CO2e. The company has not set specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a lack of formalised climate action strategies at this time. Birchcliff Energy's emissions intensity for 2021 was reported at 13.53 tCO2e/BOE, reflecting the carbon footprint associated with their production activities. Overall, while Birchcliff Energy has demonstrated a commitment to tracking emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests that further action may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate commitments.
