In 2023, KazMunayGas reported significant carbon emissions, with Scope 1 emissions amounting to approximately 6,550,000,000 kg CO2e in Kazakhstan and about 8,800,000,000 kg CO2e in Romania. Globally, the company recorded total Scope 1 emissions of around 7,442,161,000 kg CO2e, alongside Scope 2 emissions of approximately 3,957,871,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions reaching about 61,759,971,000 kg CO2e, primarily from the use of sold products. Despite these substantial figures, KazMunayGas has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the organisation. As the energy sector faces increasing scrutiny regarding sustainability practices, KazMunayGas's future strategies will be critical in addressing climate change and aligning with global emissions reduction goals.
