TotalEnergies's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, TotalEnergies reported total carbon emissions of approximately 355,000,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 32,000,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 2,000,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 355,000,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a continued reliance on fossil fuels, with Scope 3 emissions, which include those from the use of sold products, making up the majority of their carbon footprint. Over the years, TotalEnergies has seen fluctuations in its emissions. For instance, in 2010, the company emitted about 440,000,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 51,600,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 5,000,000,000 kg CO2e. By 2021, total emissions were approximately 437,000,000,000 kg CO2e, indicating a slight reduction in overall emissions despite an increase in revenue. TotalEnergies has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges. However, the company is actively engaged in discussions around sustainability and has made general commitments to reduce its carbon footprint in alignment with global climate goals. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for clearer strategies to address their significant Scope 3 emissions, which are critical in the context of climate change mitigation.
