This data reflects a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, covering all three scopes of greenhouse gas emissions. In the previous year, 2023, the company did not disclose specific emissions data, indicating a potential gap in reporting or data collection. However, in 2022, emissions were recorded at approximately 486,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 106,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, demonstrating a significant carbon footprint. Knot Offshore Partners has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of formal commitments may reflect the company's current focus on operational efficiency rather than explicit climate pledges. Overall, while Knot Offshore Partners provides detailed emissions data, the absence of reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate strategy and align with industry standards for sustainability and emissions reduction.
