In 2023, Tüpraş reported significant carbon emissions totalling approximately 116,000,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 6,169,580,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 65,295,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a substantial 104,978,969,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, which encompasses emissions from the use of sold products and purchased goods and services. Comparatively, in 2022, Tüpraş's emissions were about 108,085,734,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 6,396,666,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 55,624,000 kg CO2e. The data indicates a slight increase in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. Tüpraş has disclosed emissions across all three scopes, demonstrating transparency in their reporting. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while Tüpraş is actively monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have formalised strategies for significant reductions in line with industry standards or climate pledges. Overall, Tüpraş's emissions data reflects the challenges faced by the petroleum industry in managing carbon footprints, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which often represent the largest share of total emissions for companies in this sector.
