In 2023, Gran Tierra Energy reported total carbon emissions of approximately 450,519,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 273,975,000 kg CO2e, which encompasses direct emissions from operations, and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 176,544,000 kg CO2e, representing indirect emissions from purchased electricity. The combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalled the same amount, indicating a consistent reporting methodology. Comparatively, in 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 392,374,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 258,406,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at around 133,968,000 kg CO2e. This reflects a significant increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023, highlighting the challenges faced in reducing carbon output. Gran Tierra Energy has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets suggests that the company may not yet have formalised a comprehensive strategy for emissions reduction. Furthermore, there is no data on Scope 3 emissions, which would include indirect emissions from the value chain. Overall, Gran Tierra Energy's emissions data indicates a need for enhanced climate strategies to address the rising emissions trend and to align with industry standards for sustainability and carbon neutrality.
