Scope 1 emissions: These are direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from a company's own operations, such as emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels in boilers and vehicles. To manage Scope 1 emissions, oil and gas companies can:
- Increase energy efficiency and reduce fuel consumption in their operations.
- Switch to cleaner energy sources, such as renewable energy or natural gas.
- Implement carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies to capture and store carbon dioxide emissions from their operations.
