Pioneer Natural Resources's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Pioneer Natural Resources reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,350,143,000 kg CO2e globally. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 1,200,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of around 300,000,000 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 162,000,000,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, indicating a lack of formalised strategies such as Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets or other reduction pledges. This absence of defined reduction goals suggests that while Pioneer Natural Resources is aware of its emissions profile, it may not yet have established a comprehensive framework for addressing climate change through measurable targets. Overall, the company's emissions data highlights the substantial environmental impact associated with its operations, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which often represent the largest share of total emissions for companies in the oil and gas sector.
