China National Petroleum Corp's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) reported carbon emissions of approximately 1,880,000,000 kg CO2e, reflecting a continued increase from 1,800,000,000 kg CO2e in 2022 and 1,790,000,000 kg CO2e in 2021. These figures represent Scope 1 and 2 emissions, which encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources and indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling consumed by the company. Despite the rising emissions, CNPC has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at mitigating their carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate pledges or commitments suggests a need for enhanced transparency and accountability in their climate strategy. As a major player in the global oil and gas industry, CNPC's emissions profile and climate commitments are critical in the context of global efforts to combat climate change.
