Woodside Energy's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Woodside Energy reported total carbon emissions of approximately 9,165,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 10,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, resulting in a combined total of about 9,175,000,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data for this year. Over the years, Woodside's emissions have shown fluctuations. For instance, in 2022, the total emissions were approximately 9,565,000,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. In 2021, the total emissions were about 8,901,000,000 kg CO2e, indicating a slight decrease in emissions over the years. Despite these figures, Woodside Energy has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further clarity on their long-term climate strategy. The company continues to report on its emissions and has made efforts to improve its emissions intensity, with Scope 1 emissions intensity reported at 280.0 kg CO2e per unit of revenue in 2023. Overall, while Woodside Energy is actively monitoring its carbon emissions, the lack of defined reduction targets raises questions about its commitment to addressing climate change effectively.
