Eog Resources's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Eog Resources reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 57,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 400,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a substantial 118,000,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This indicates a continued reliance on fossil fuel production, with Scope 3 emissions primarily arising from the use of sold products. In previous years, Eog Resources has shown varying emissions levels. For instance, in 2022, the company emitted about 51,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 400,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, alongside 110,300,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. The trend suggests a consistent pattern of high Scope 3 emissions, which are often the most challenging for companies in the oil and gas sector to manage. Despite the high emissions figures, Eog Resources has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may reflect broader industry challenges in addressing climate change while maintaining profitability. Overall, Eog Resources's emissions data highlights the ongoing environmental impact of its operations, particularly in the context of global climate commitments and the need for substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions across all scopes.
