Parex Resources's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Parex Resources reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4,347,406,190 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 199,449,440 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 3,105,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 4,347,406,190 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This represents a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which are primarily driven by the use of sold products. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 3,659,267,350 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 180,136,440 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 634,570 kg CO2e. The trend indicates a growing carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3, which reflects the emissions associated with the lifecycle of their products. Despite the increasing emissions, Parex Resources has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may place the company at a disadvantage in an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and carbon neutrality. Overall, while Parex Resources continues to operate within the oil and gas sector, its emissions data highlights the need for enhanced climate commitments and strategies to mitigate its environmental impact.
