Citgo's reported carbon emissions

As of 2022, Citgo's carbon emissions totalled approximately 7,600,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 1,359,214,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This represents a slight increase in Scope 1 emissions from 7,300,000,000 kg CO2e in 2021 and a decrease from 8,400,000,000 kg CO2e in 2018. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Citgo has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, indicating a lack of formalised strategies for emissions reduction. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while Citgo is aware of its emissions, it may not have established a comprehensive plan to address them. Overall, Citgo's emissions profile reflects the challenges faced by the fossil fuel industry in managing greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in the context of increasing global climate commitments.
