Irving Oil's reported carbon emissions
In 2019, Irving Oil reported significant carbon emissions of approximately 3,254,955,000 kg CO2e, primarily from Scope 1 sources. This figure highlights the company's substantial impact on greenhouse gas emissions within the oil refining sector. The most recent data available from 2021 indicates additional emissions from specific refinery operations, including 654,000 kg CO2e from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at the Saint John refinery and 400,000 kg CO2e from particulate matter at the Whitegate refinery. Despite these emissions figures, Irving Oil has not disclosed specific reduction targets or commitments through initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of defined climate pledges or reduction initiatives suggests a need for clearer strategies to address their carbon footprint. Overall, while Irving Oil's emissions data reflects a significant environmental impact, the lack of articulated climate commitments raises questions about their long-term sustainability goals.
