The company has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other frameworks, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. Kazmunaygas operates within a challenging industry context, where fossil fuel extraction and processing are inherently carbon-intensive. The company’s emissions intensity in upstream operations has varied, with reported values around 0.00075 to 0.00089 tonnes CO2e per tonne of hydrocarbons produced in earlier years. Overall, while Kazmunaygas has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of defined reduction targets highlights the need for enhanced climate action strategies moving forward.
