In 2023, Teekay Tankers reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,176,254,000 kg CO2e. This marks a significant reduction from previous years, with emissions of about 1,166,344,000 kg CO2e in 2022. Over the years, Teekay's emissions have fluctuated, with a peak of about 5,279,233,000 kg CO2e in 2018. Teekay Tankers has not disclosed specific targets for emissions reductions or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company has not provided detailed information on its Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, which limits the understanding of its overall carbon footprint. However, the reported emissions data indicates a trend towards lower emissions in recent years, suggesting ongoing efforts to improve operational efficiency. The average annual efficiency ratio (AER) and energy efficiency operational indicators (EEOI) for their tankers have been reported, indicating a focus on enhancing energy efficiency in their operations. For instance, the EEOI for Aframax tankers was reported at 0.00956 in 2023, reflecting their commitment to reducing carbon intensity. Overall, while Teekay Tankers has made strides in reducing emissions, the absence of formal reduction targets or comprehensive scope disclosures highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate commitments.
