Tourmaline Oil's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Tourmaline Oil, headquartered in California, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,006,844,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 2,933,544,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and around 79,230,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marked a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, with Scope 1 emissions rising from about 2,598,881,000 kg CO2e in 2021 and Scope 2 emissions from approximately 86,122,000 kg CO2e. Tourmaline Oil has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or reduction strategies suggests that the company may be focusing on operational efficiency rather than formal commitments to emissions reduction. The company operates within the mineral fuels and oils sector, which is known for its substantial greenhouse gas emissions. As such, Tourmaline Oil's emissions intensity remains a critical metric for assessing its environmental impact. The reported emissions intensity for 2022 was approximately 511.6 kg CO2e per barrel of oil equivalent (boe), indicating the company's ongoing challenges in managing its carbon output effectively. Overall, while Tourmaline Oil's emissions data reflects its operational scale, the lack of clear climate commitments raises questions about its long-term sustainability strategy in the context of increasing global climate concerns.
