Cepsa's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Cepsa reported total carbon emissions of approximately 58,000,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 100,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 40,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and about 58,000,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This indicates a significant reliance on indirect emissions, particularly from the use of sold products. Cepsa's emissions data from previous years shows a trend of high emissions, with Scope 1 emissions reaching approximately 6,800,000,000 kg CO2e in 2019 and Scope 2 emissions at about 714,000,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. Overall, Cepsa's emissions profile highlights the challenges faced by the energy sector in managing carbon footprints, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which often constitute the majority of total emissions. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests that Cepsa may need to enhance its climate commitments to align with global sustainability goals.
