Cheniere Energy's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Cheniere Energy reported significant carbon emissions, with Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 9,730,770,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 224,169,000 kg CO2e. This reflects a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 2022, where they were approximately 9,785,247,000 kg CO2e, alongside Scope 2 emissions of about 239,445,000 kg CO2e. Cheniere has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a focus primarily on direct and indirect emissions from their operations. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, which may limit their ability to demonstrate a proactive approach to reducing their overall carbon footprint. The emissions intensity for Scope 1, measured in metric tons CO2e per million standard cubic feet (MMscf) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exported, was reported at approximately 4,870.0 metric tons CO2e/MMscf in 2023. This metric is crucial for understanding the environmental impact of their LNG production relative to their output. Overall, while Cheniere Energy has made strides in tracking and reporting their emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets or commitments may pose challenges in aligning with broader industry standards for climate action.
