In 2021, Centennial Resource Development reported total carbon emissions of approximately 335,991,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, which includes direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Additionally, the company recorded about 95,044,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2 emissions, which pertain to indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity. The combined total for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions reached approximately 430,789,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2020, the company’s Scope 1 emissions were significantly higher at about 527,489,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at approximately 60,136,000 kg CO2e, leading to a total of around 587,749,000 kg CO2e for both scopes. This indicates a notable reduction in emissions from 2020 to 2021. Centennial Resource Development has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, which would include indirect emissions from the value chain. Furthermore, the company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a lack of formalised commitments to emissions reduction at this time. Overall, while Centennial Resource Development has made strides in reducing its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, the absence of comprehensive climate commitments and Scope 3 data suggests there is room for improvement in its climate strategy.
