In 2023, Sempra reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 68,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, about 512,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and around 67,800,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, covering all three scopes. Sempra has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a 50% reduction in GHG emissions from its California utility and Mexico (non-LNG) operations by 2030, using a 2019 baseline. This target applies to both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Additionally, the company is committed to achieving net-zero emissions across all scopes by 2050. In terms of specific initiatives, Sempra plans to reduce fugitive methane emissions from its natural gas transmission and distribution systems by 40% by 2030, based on a 2015 baseline. Furthermore, they aim to operate their existing LNG infrastructure at a GHG emissions intensity that is 20% lower than their 2020 baseline by 2030. These commitments position Sempra as a proactive player in the energy sector, addressing climate change through measurable targets and a clear reduction strategy.
