In 2022, routine flaring from our
upstream operations fell to 0.1
million tonnes of hydrocarbons
We have met our target to keep
methane emissions intensity
below 0.2% in 2022
In 2022 our total estimated carbon
emissions were 1.2 gtpa, a reduction
of 28% vs 2018
Shell plc | March 22, 2023
1 Estimated total greenhouse gas emissions from energy sold included in Net Carbon Intensity. Total emissions in 2016 were 1.64 gigatonnes.
2018 is used as reference year as this is the earliest year data is available for both routine flaring and methane intensity.
