Chevron's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Chevron reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 52,000,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 2,000,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (location-based), and a staggering 871,000,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions, primarily from the use of sold products. This marked a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 2022, where they were about 53,000,000,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 3 emissions also saw a reduction from approximately 592,000,000,000 kg CO2e. Chevron has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to achieve net-zero upstream emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 2050. Additionally, the company has established near-term targets to reduce flaring intensity by 25-30% and methane emissions intensity by 20-25% from 2016 levels by 2023. Since 2013, Chevron has successfully reduced flaring and associated emissions by about 22%. Looking ahead, Chevron's 2028 upstream carbon intensity target includes a specific goal for flaring intensity of 3.0 kg CO2e/boe, representing a 66% reduction from the 2016 baseline. These initiatives reflect Chevron's commitment to aligning its operations with the objectives of the Paris Agreement while striving for operational improvements and emissions reductions.
