Sempra's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Sempra reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 68,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 512,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and a substantial 67,800,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a continued reliance on fossil fuels, particularly in their natural gas operations. Sempra has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from their 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, they are committed to achieving net-zero emissions across all scopes by 2050. The company also aims to reduce fugitive methane emissions from their natural gas transmission and distribution systems by 40% by 2030, based on a 2015 baseline. Furthermore, Sempra plans to operate its existing LNG infrastructure at a GHG emissions intensity that is 20% lower than its 2020 baseline by 2030. These initiatives demonstrate Sempra's commitment to addressing climate change and reducing its carbon footprint while navigating the complexities of the energy sector.
