In 2023, Seplat Energy reported total carbon emissions of approximately 582 million tonnes CO2e, comprising 565 million tonnes from Scope 1, about 1.2 million tonnes from Scope 2, and approximately 15 million tonnes from Scope 3 emissions. This data highlights the company's significant operational footprint, particularly in Scope 1 emissions, which primarily arise from direct operations such as stationary combustion. Despite the substantial emissions figures, Seplat Energy has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction strategies or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may reflect the broader industry context, where many energy companies are under increasing pressure to enhance their sustainability practices and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Seplat Energy's emissions intensity, measured in terms of greenhouse gas emissions per barrel of oil equivalent, has varied over the years, with a notable intensity of approximately 27,900 tonnes CO2e in 2023. The company continues to operate within a challenging environment, balancing energy production with the need for climate responsibility.
