Huntsman's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Huntsman Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 7,000,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 233,396,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 697,573,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 6,000,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This indicates a substantial reliance on upstream activities for their overall carbon footprint. Over the years, Huntsman has shown a trend of decreasing emissions in Scope 1 and Scope 2, with total emissions dropping from about 3,570,000,000 kg CO2e in 2014 to approximately 1,000,000,000 kg CO2e in 2020 for Scope 1 and 2 combined. However, there are no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed in their recent reports, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. Huntsman’s emissions intensity has also been reported, with a notable figure of 393 kg CO2e per tonne of product in 2021. The company has not publicly committed to any science-based targets or specific climate pledges, which may limit their accountability in addressing climate change effectively. Overall, while Huntsman has made strides in reducing its emissions over the years, the lack of formal reduction targets and commitments suggests that further action may be necessary to align with global climate goals.
