This reflects a significant operational footprint, particularly in the mineral fuels sector, where the carbon intensity was reported at about 5,390 kg CO2e per barrel of oil equivalent (BOE). For the AE region specifically, Dana Gas's emissions were approximately 662,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 and 44,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2 for 2023. In Egypt, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of about 73,131,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 3,142,000 kg CO2e for the same year. Despite the substantial emissions figures, Dana Gas has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The company does not currently report Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions from the value chain. Overall, Dana Gas's emissions data indicates a considerable environmental impact, and the absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies within the organisation.
