In 2023, Citgo Petroleum Corporation reported approximately 7,900,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions. This figure represents a slight increase from 2022, when emissions were about 7,600,000,000 kg CO2e, and a notable rise from 2021's total of approximately 7,300,000,000 kg CO2e. Over the past five years, emissions have fluctuated, with 2019 recording the highest at about 8,200,000,000 kg CO2e and 2020 at about 6,600,000,000 kg CO2e. Citgo has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The company is currently classified as a current subsidiary of CITGO Petroleum Corporation, which may influence its emissions reporting and climate strategies. However, there are no documented SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets or other formal climate pledges noted in the available data. Overall, while Citgo's emissions data reflects significant levels of carbon output, the absence of clear reduction commitments suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies within the organisation.
