In 2023, Devon Energy reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4,370,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 370,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 97,000,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, primarily from the use of sold products. The combined total for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions was about 4,740,000,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, the company recorded approximately 4,590,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions, 390,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2 emissions, and 90,000,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions, indicating a slight reduction in Scope 1 emissions year-on-year. Devon Energy has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests a need for further development in their climate strategy. Overall, Devon Energy's emissions profile highlights the significant impact of Scope 3 emissions, which are critical for understanding the full carbon footprint of their operations. The company continues to navigate the complexities of emissions management within the fossil fuel sector, where substantial reductions are essential for aligning with global climate goals.
