(E&E NEWS) - BP reported Friday that its overall carbon dioxide emissions rose last year for the first time since 2019, raising questions about the company’s ability to meet its net-zero targets as demand for oil and gas continue to drive its profits.
The emissions caused by the burning of BP’s oil and gas increased by 8 million metric tons in 2023, to 315 million metric tons. Emissions stemming from the company’s operations rose slightly to 32.1 million metric tons, compared to 31.8 million metric tons in 2022.
