In 2024, Chevron reported total carbon emissions of approximately 54,000,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 4,000,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (both market-based and location-based), and a significant 1,565,000,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions, primarily from the use of sold products. This data reflects Chevron's ongoing commitment to addressing climate change and reducing its carbon footprint. Chevron has set ambitious reduction targets, aiming for a 25% to 30% reduction in flaring intensity and a 20% to 25% reduction in methane emissions intensity from 2016 to 2023. Since 2013, the company has successfully reduced flaring and associated emissions by 22%. Furthermore, Chevron is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050 for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, with specific targets for upstream carbon intensity, including a flaring intensity target of 3.0 kg CO2e per barrel of oil equivalent by 2028, representing a 66% reduction from its 2016 baseline. Chevron's emissions data and reduction initiatives are not cascaded from any parent company, indicating that the figures are independently reported. The company continues to focus on improving energy efficiency, reducing flaring and venting, and addressing methane leaks as part of its broader climate strategy.
