Valero Energy

Valero Energy, a prominent player in the crude petroleum and related services industry based in the US, has reported its greenhouse gas emissions across various scopes. For 2025, Valero Energy reported Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalling approximately 11.9 billion kg CO2e.

In 2024, the company's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 24.3 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions (both market-based and location-based) at approximately 5 billion kg CO2e. This follows Scope 1 emissions of around 24.9 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 5.1 billion kg CO2e in 2023. In 2022, Valero Energy reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 24.8 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of around 5 billion kg CO2e.

Looking back, Scope 1 emissions for 2021 were approximately 23.7 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 2 at about 4.9 billion kg CO2e. In 2020, Scope 1 emissions stood at approximately 23 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 at about 4.5 billion kg CO2e. Prior to that, in 2019, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 24.8 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were around 4.7 billion kg CO2e. In 2018, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 25.4 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were around 5 billion kg CO2e. For 2017, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 25.2 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were about 5.2 billion kg CO2e. In 2011, reported Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 31.8 billion kg CO2e.

Valero Energy has established ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to reduce and displace its global refining Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 63% by 2025, a target they achieved in 2022, three years ahead of schedule. Furthermore, Valero is on track to reduce and displace 100% of its global refining GHG emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) by 2035. This long-term goal is to be achieved through board-approved projects and carbon sequestration initiatives currently under development.
