Marathon Oil has committed to several climate reduction targets. The company aims for a 50% reduction in its Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG intensity by 2025, using a 2019 baseline. Furthermore, it targets an 80% reduction in methane intensity (Scope 1 and Scope 2) by 2030, also from a 2019 baseline. A shorter-term methane intensity target is a 60% reduction (Scope 1 and Scope 2) by 2025, using a 2019 baseline. The company projects that achieving its long-term GHG intensity reduction goal would result in an absolute Scope 1 GHG emissions reduction of approximately 75% relative to its 2019 baseline by 2030. Earlier commitments from 2009 aimed to cut the carbon intensity of its Scope 1 and Scope 2 operations in half by 2020.
