California Resources's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, California Resources reported total carbon emissions of approximately 17,504,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 2,603,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 152,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 14,749,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Compared to 2022, when total emissions were about 18,258,000,000 kg CO2e, the company achieved a reduction of approximately 754,000,000 kg CO2e. The emissions data indicates a consistent disclosure of all three scopes, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions primarily arising from direct operations and energy consumption, while Scope 3 emissions reflect the broader impact of the company's supply chain and product use. Despite these figures, California Resources has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company continues to operate within the context of the oil and gas industry, which faces increasing scrutiny regarding carbon emissions and climate commitments.
