Chevron's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Chevron reported total carbon emissions of approximately 576,000,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 52,000,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 4,000,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and the majority, 576,000,000,000 kg CO2e, from Scope 3. This indicates a significant reliance on indirect emissions associated with the use of sold products. Chevron has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net zero upstream emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 2050. This long-term target was announced in 2021, reflecting the company's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint in line with global climate goals. Historically, Chevron's emissions have fluctuated, with Scope 1 emissions peaking at 66,000,000,000 kg CO2e in 2018. The company has made strides in addressing its emissions, but the vast majority of its carbon footprint remains in Scope 3, highlighting the challenges faced by the oil and gas industry in achieving comprehensive emissions reductions. Overall, Chevron's climate strategy focuses on significant long-term reductions, particularly in upstream operations, while navigating the complexities of its extensive supply chain emissions.
