Kinder Morgan's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Kinder Morgan reported total carbon emissions of approximately 15,400,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, which includes direct emissions from their operations, and approximately 3,100,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, which covers indirect emissions from purchased electricity. The combined total for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions was about 18,600,000,000 kg CO2e. Over the years, Kinder Morgan has shown fluctuations in its emissions. For instance, in 2022, the company recorded approximately 14,900,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions and about 3,200,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2 emissions, leading to a total of around 18,100,000,000 kg CO2e. In 2021, the figures were similar, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 15,300,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 3,100,000,000 kg CO2e. Despite these emissions, Kinder Morgan has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for clearer commitments in line with industry standards for climate action. The company operates within a sector that is increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact, highlighting the importance of transparent climate commitments and measurable reduction strategies.
