Insights into Equinor's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2024, Equinor has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2), but not its value chain emissions (Scope 3). This means its reduction efforts currently focus on direct and purchased energy emissions.
Does Equinor have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2024, Equinor has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
Equinor's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 100% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 501,968 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2012.
As of 2022, Equinor is ahead of schedule on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 95.92% of the planned reduction.
Equinor's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does Equinor have a target to reduce its total carbon footprint?
As of 2024, Equinor has set a target to reduce its total carbon footprint, specifically those from Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 sources.
Equinor's most ambitious carbon footprint target is to reduce its scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from a baseline of 0 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) per Joule (J) of Energy Produced in 2019, by 30% by 2035.
As of 2024, Equinor is lagging behind on its total carbon footprint reduction target, having achieved 7.9% of the planned reduction.
