Major Drilling's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, Major Drilling reported total carbon emissions of approximately 80,720,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 13,208,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, resulting in a combined total of about 93,928,000 kg CO2e. The emissions from mobile combustion accounted for about 13,049,000 kg CO2e, while stationary combustion contributed approximately 67,367,000 kg CO2e. In 2020, the company recorded Scope 1 emissions of around 62,762,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of about 10,708,000 kg CO2e, leading to a total of approximately 73,470,000 kg CO2e. For 2022, Major Drilling did not disclose specific emissions data but reported an intensity figure of about 143,500 kg CO2e per million CAD in revenue. This indicates a focus on emissions intensity rather than absolute emissions reporting for that year. Currently, Major Drilling has not set any specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company operates independently without cascading emissions data from a parent organisation, maintaining its own reporting and performance metrics. Overall, Major Drilling's emissions profile highlights significant Scope 1 and 2 emissions, with a need for clearer climate commitments and reduction strategies moving forward.
