Continental Resources's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Continental Resources reported total emissions of approximately 3.5 billion kg CO2e, comprising 3 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 500 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company has consistently maintained a Scope 1 emission level of 3 billion kg CO2e since 2021, while Scope 2 emissions have seen a gradual increase from 350 million kg CO2e in 2022 to 500 million kg CO2e in 2024. Continental Resources has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a potential area for future reporting and improvement. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as evidenced by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Overall, while Continental Resources has made strides in tracking its emissions, the lack of comprehensive Scope 3 data and formal reduction commitments suggests that further action may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate accountability and sustainability.
