China National Petroleum Corp's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) reported total emissions of approximately 1,870,000,000 kg CO2e, encompassing Scope 1 and 2 emissions. This figure reflects a slight increase from 2023, where total emissions were about 1,880,000,000 kg CO2e, also within Scope 1 and 2. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. CNPC's emissions have shown a general trend of stability over recent years, with 2022 emissions recorded at approximately 1,800,000,000 kg CO2e. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a lack of formalised commitments to reduce emissions at this time. The absence of significant reduction targets or achievements suggests that CNPC may be focusing on maintaining current operational levels rather than actively pursuing aggressive climate commitments. The emissions data is sourced directly from China National Petroleum Corporation, with no cascaded data from parent or related organisations.
