Petrobras's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Petrobras reported total carbon emissions of approximately 44,100,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 45,800,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 100,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 441,000,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a continued reliance on fossil fuels, with significant emissions stemming from the use of sold products. Petrobras has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments in line with global sustainability goals. As a major player in the oil and gas sector, Petrobras's emissions profile highlights the challenges faced by the industry in transitioning to lower-carbon operations. Overall, while Petrobras has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of defined reduction targets raises questions about its long-term climate strategy and commitment to mitigating climate change impacts.
