Gastar Exploration Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as there are no available figures for emissions in kg CO2e. Additionally, the company has not established any documented reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a lack of formal commitments towards addressing climate change at this time.
