In 2023, Tüpraş reported total carbon emissions of approximately 141,468,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 1,300,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and a significant 104,978,969,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This indicates a substantial reliance on upstream activities, as Scope 3 emissions dominate their overall carbon footprint. The company has shown a slight reduction in Scope 1 emissions from 169,640,000 kg CO2e in 2022, while Scope 2 emissions remained unchanged at 1,300,000 kg CO2e. However, Scope 3 emissions increased from 108,085,734,000 kg CO2e in 2022, highlighting the challenges Tüpraş faces in managing its indirect emissions. Tüpraş has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that Tüpraş may need to enhance its commitment to climate action and emissions reduction. Overall, Tüpraş's emissions data reflects the complexities of the petroleum refining industry, where significant Scope 3 emissions can overshadow direct operational emissions. The company’s future climate commitments will be crucial in addressing its substantial carbon footprint and aligning with global climate goals.
