Emissions Reduction and Climate Action Goals

Our Commitment

We support the goals of the Paris Agreement and are committed to being a part of the solution to help the world address climate change. Technology development and deployment are needed to provide energy today and to achieve energy transition goals consistent with those goals.

Our companywide greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets are focused on lowering the emissions intensity of our globally operated assets, the products we manufacture and sell, and to account for market and technological uncertainties.

2030 GHG Emissions Reduction Targets

We explore technological innovations, partnerships and best practices to further reduce GHG emissions, including methane.

30%

Manufacturing-related emissions intensity

(Scope 1 and 2) from operated assets

15%

Product-related emissions intensity

(Scope 3) from products manufactured and sold

2050 GHG Emissions Reduction Target

50%

Reduction in manufacturing-related emissions intensity

(Scope 1 and 2) from operated assets

Emissions reductions are from a 2019 baseline.

Managing Methane Emissions

Effectively managing methane emissions may offer a near-term opportunity for society to positively impact Earth’s climate. Methane is relevant to our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing (G&P) assets operations and we manage it by:

01

Integrating People and Data Systems

We use an in-house application to connect detection data with operational response, helping teams efficiently identify, prioritize and resolve methane events.

02

Implementing Best Operating Practices

We embed methane management into day-to-day operations through proactive planning and equipment maintenance, and we consider lower-emissions designs for new builds and retrofits where practical.

03

Utilizing Technology

We apply aerial and satellite monitoring across operated gathering and processing pipelines and pilot new technologies to enable near real-time monitoring of select assets and equipment.

04

Leveraging Industry and Academia

We share data and best practices through industry forums and we support university-led measurement campaigns that aim to improve methane emissions factors and inventory reconciliations over time.
