In 2024, Oil Refineries Ltd. reported carbon emissions of approximately 14,968,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 sources, specifically from stationary combustion. This marks a decrease from 16,676,000 kg CO2e in 2023, indicating a positive trend in emissions reduction. The company has consistently reported Scope 1 emissions over the past few years, with figures of about 16,590,000 kg CO2e in 2022, 12,485,000 kg CO2e in 2021, and 13,136,000 kg CO2e in 2020. Despite these reductions, Oil Refineries Ltd. has not set specific science-based targets (SBTi) or documented reduction initiatives. The absence of formal climate pledges or reduction targets suggests that while the company is making progress in reducing emissions, it may not yet have a comprehensive strategy in place to address its overall climate impact. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that these figures are solely attributed to Oil Refineries Ltd. itself. The company operates within a challenging industry context, where significant emissions reductions are essential for aligning with global climate goals.
