This marked an increase in emissions compared to previous years, reflecting the company's ongoing operational activities. In 2022, TGS's emissions were approximately 119,870,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3, alongside 9,776,430 kg CO2e for the combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions, which included 330 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 9,776,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. The trend indicates a growing reliance on activities contributing to higher Scope 3 emissions. For 2021, TGS reported total emissions of about 112,151,600 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 67,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 11,113,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions were notably high at around 133,488,000 kg CO2e, primarily from purchased goods and services. In 2020, TGS's total emissions were approximately 12,558,610 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 337,750 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 12,562,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions were significant, reaching approximately 147,275,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, TGS has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments in line with industry standards. As TGS continues to operate globally, it is crucial for the company to establish clear and measurable climate goals to mitigate its environmental impact effectively.
