In 2023, Citgo Petroleum Corporation reported its carbon emissions at approximately 7,900,000,000 kg CO2e, all of which fall under Scope 1 emissions. This marks an increase from 2022, when emissions were about 7,600,000,000 kg CO2e, and from 2021, which recorded approximately 7,300,000,000 kg CO2e. The trend indicates a rise in emissions over the past few years, with 2020 emissions at about 6,600,000,000 kg CO2e and 2019 at approximately 8,200,000,000 kg CO2e. Citgo has not publicly disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The company is a current subsidiary of CITGO Petroleum Corporation, and its emissions data is cascaded from this parent organisation. As of now, there are no commitments to industry-standard initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. Overall, Citgo's emissions data reflects a significant environmental impact, and without clear reduction strategies, the company faces challenges in aligning with global climate goals.
