In 2024, YPF, headquartered in Argentina (AR), reported total carbon emissions of approximately 11,293,340,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 9,440,599,000 kg CO2e, which encompasses process emissions (729,000 kg CO2e), fugitive emissions (447,703,000 kg CO2e), and stationary combustion (2,031,198,000 kg CO2e). Scope 2 emissions totalled around 1,852,741,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 3 emissions were significantly higher at approximately 75,035,607,000 kg CO2e, primarily driven by the use of sold products (67,721,847,000 kg CO2e). YPF has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The company does not appear to have cascaded any emissions data from a parent organization, and there are no reported SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets. The emissions intensity for conventional and non-conventional production methods has been reported, with conventional emissions intensity at about 38,900 kg CO2e per BOE for Scope 1 and 49.1 kg CO2e per unit of revenue for Scope 1 and 2 combined. Overall, YPF's emissions profile reflects a significant reliance on fossil fuel production, with a substantial portion of its emissions stemming from downstream activities. The absence of specific reduction commitments indicates a potential area for future focus in their sustainability strategy.
