This marks a slight decrease from 2023, where emissions were about 254 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 contributing approximately 250 kg CO2e and Scope 2 about 4 kg CO2e. Over the past few years, ADNOC Drilling's emissions have shown fluctuations. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of approximately 534,764,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 534,361,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 403,000 kg CO2e. In 2021, total emissions were around 425,024,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 421,827,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 3,197,000 kg CO2e. The 2020 figures were similar, with total emissions of about 436,800,000 kg CO2e. Despite these emissions, ADNOC Drilling has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments suggests that while the company is monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have formalised a comprehensive strategy for significant reductions in line with global climate goals.
