Bp's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, BP reported total carbon emissions of approximately 314,900,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 31,100,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,000,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 314,900,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects BP's ongoing operations and the significant impact of its supply chain activities. In the UK, BP's emissions for 2022 were approximately 338,900,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 30,400,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 1,500,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching approximately 1,228,000,000,000 kg CO2e. Despite the substantial emissions figures, BP has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for clearer commitments to climate action. BP's emissions data highlights the challenges faced by major oil and gas companies in balancing operational demands with climate commitments, particularly in the context of global climate goals.
