In 2024, Chevron reported total carbon emissions of approximately 61,000,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 2, and 3 sources. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were about 54,000,000,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions totalled around 2,000,000,000 kg CO2e. The most significant contributor to their carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, particularly from the use of sold products, which reached approximately 616,000,000,000 kg CO2e. Chevron has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net zero emissions by 2050. This target encompasses both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, with a focus on reducing emissions intensity. From 2016 to 2023, Chevron aims to achieve a 25 to 30 per cent reduction in flaring intensity and a 20 to 25 per cent reduction in methane emissions intensity. Since 2013, the company has already reduced flaring and associated emissions by about 22 per cent. Additionally, Chevron's 2028 upstream carbon intensity target includes a specific goal for flaring intensity of 3.0 kg CO2e per barrel of oil equivalent, representing a 66 per cent reduction from their 2016 baseline. These initiatives reflect Chevron's commitment to improving operational efficiency while aligning with the objectives of the Paris Agreement.
