In 2023, Eog Resources, headquartered in the US, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 57,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 400,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and about 118,000,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This indicates a significant reliance on upstream emissions, particularly from the use of sold products. Over the years, Eog Resources has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. In 2022, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of about 51,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of 400,000 kg CO2e, alongside a substantial Scope 3 total of approximately 110,300,000,000 kg CO2e. The company has made strides in improving its GHG intensity rates, with a reported Scope 1 GHG intensity rate of 14,000 kg CO2e per tonne in 2022. Despite these figures, Eog Resources has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. Overall, while Eog Resources has made progress in tracking and reporting emissions, the lack of explicit reduction strategies may limit its effectiveness in addressing climate change challenges.
