TotalEnergies denounces dissemination by Greenpeace of false and misleading information on greenhouse gas emissions
By Our Correspondent
In a report published by Greenpeace on Thursday November 3, 2022 entitled “TotalEnergies carbon footprint: the account is not there”, Greenpeace affirms in particular that the Scope 1 emissions (patrimonial part) of TotalEnergies would have been more than 160 million tonnes of CO 2 e in 2019, even though these Scope 1 emissions (portfolio share) as reported by TotalEnergies were in reality 55 million tonnes of CO 2 e that year.
The figure of 160 million tonnes of CO 2 e reported by Greenpeace for TotalEnergies’ Scope 1 emissions (share of heritage) in 2019 is fanciful and misleading. With regard to information concerning the quality and reliability of the information published by TotalEnergies on its direct greenhouse gas emissions over which it has control, the dissemination by Greenpeace of misleading information in this matter is serious.
Consequently, TotalEnergies has decided to take legal action to repair the damage caused by the dissemination of this misleading information by Greenpeace.
TotalEnergies is a global multi-energy energy production and supply company: oil and biofuels, natural gas and green gas, renewables and electricity. Its more than 100,000 employees are committed to energy that is ever more affordable, cleaner, more reliable and accessible to as many people as possible.
Present in more than 130 countries, TotalEnergies places sustainable development in all its dimensions at the heart of its projects and operations to contribute to the well-being of populations.
