In 2024, KazMunayGas reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 26,400,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 3,300,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and a staggering 59,100,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3, specifically from the use of sold products. This data highlights the company's substantial carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which are often the most challenging to manage. In 2023, the company recorded Scope 1 emissions of about 6,550,000,000 kg CO2e in Kazakhstan and 2,330,000,000 kg CO2e globally. The Scope 2 emissions for the same year were approximately 3,400,000,000 kg CO2e (location-based) globally. Notably, KazMunayGas has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments or documented reduction strategies. KazMunayGas operates without cascading emissions data from a parent company, maintaining its own reporting standards. The company is aware of its environmental impact and is positioned within an industry that faces increasing scrutiny regarding carbon emissions and climate commitments. However, without defined reduction targets or initiatives, its future climate strategy remains unclear.
