In 2022, Central Petroleum Limited reported significant carbon emissions, with Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 28,801,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 51,198,000 kg CO2e. This data highlights the company's substantial carbon footprint, primarily from direct operations and energy consumption. For 2023, emissions data is not disclosed, and there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges outlined by the company. The absence of detailed emissions reporting for 2023 suggests a need for improved transparency in their climate commitments. Central Petroleum Limited has not inherited emissions data from any parent organisation, indicating that their reported figures are solely based on their own operations. The company has not established any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or other formal climate commitments, which may limit their accountability in addressing climate change. Overall, while Central Petroleum Limited has reported significant emissions in 2022, the lack of recent data and defined reduction strategies raises questions about their long-term climate strategy and commitment to sustainability.
