China Petrochemical Development's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, China Petrochemical Development reported total carbon emissions of approximately 215,186.4 kg CO2e, with all emissions classified under Scope 2, indicating that these emissions are primarily associated with purchased electricity. This marks an increase from 2022, when emissions were about 142,807.5 kg CO2e, also entirely from Scope 2 sources. Historically, the company has faced significant emissions, with 2021 figures reaching approximately 3,666,264,000 kg CO2e, which included 1,703,474,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 204,320,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 1,758,458,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This indicates a substantial reliance on direct emissions from operations and upstream activities. Despite the increase in emissions in recent years, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from China Petrochemical Development. The absence of specific initiatives or commitments suggests a need for enhanced focus on sustainability and emissions reduction strategies within the industry context.
