In 2023, Seplat Energy, headquartered in Nigeria (NG), reported significant carbon emissions totalling approximately 15,000,000,000 kg CO2e across all scopes. This includes about 565,423,800 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and approximately 1,320,700 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, related to indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity. Notably, Scope 3 emissions accounted for a substantial 14,915,000,000 kg CO2e, reflecting the emissions from the entire value chain. In comparison, the previous year, 2022, Seplat Energy's emissions were significantly higher, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 1,120,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 972,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 8,788,000,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a potential shift in operational efficiency or changes in production practices. Despite these figures, Seplat Energy has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments. The company’s climate strategy appears to be in its early stages, with no formal climate pledges or reduction initiatives disclosed. Overall, while Seplat Energy's emissions data reflects a significant carbon footprint, the lack of defined reduction strategies highlights an area for potential growth in their sustainability efforts.
