Cheniere Energy's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Cheniere Energy reported total carbon emissions of approximately 9,730,770,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 sources, alongside 224,169,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marks a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, with Scope 1 emissions rising from about 9,785,247,000 kg CO2e in 2022 and 9,002,782,000 kg CO2e in 2021. Cheniere's emissions data reveals a trend of increasing Scope 1 emissions over the years, with figures of approximately 6,151,019,000 kg CO2e in 2020, 6,789,317,000 kg CO2e in 2019, and 4,555,261,000 kg CO2e in 2018. Notably, Scope 2 emissions have remained relatively low, with the highest recorded at about 239,445,000 kg CO2e in 2022. Despite the rising emissions, Cheniere has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction commitments suggests a need for further transparency regarding their climate strategies. As a major player in the LNG sector, Cheniere's emissions profile is critical in the context of global climate commitments, and the company may face increasing pressure to establish and communicate clear sustainability goals moving forward.
