In July 2022, within the framework of the Carbon Disclosure Project was published a Climate Questionnaire for 2021 which includes data on the volumes of direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions for all KMG assets, including subsidiaries in Romania and Georgia.

According to the report, based on the results of 2021 the volume of direct carbon dioxide emissions in the KMG Group of Companies amounted to 6.9 mln tons of CO₂ (10.6 mln tons of CO₂-equiv.). The CO₂-equiv. data are presented using potential coefficients of the global warming IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (methane – 28, nitrous oxide – 265). The calculation includes carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), nitrous oxide (N₂O). The data on direct greenhouse gas emissions are confirmed by the conclusions of independent certified organizations for each SDE.

The information for 2022 will be disclosed in the CDP report in III-d quarter 2023. When disclosure of information we adhere to the principle of consistency and comparability. We continuously work to improve the completeness of disclosure of information.

The volume of direct GHG emissions (CO₂) emissions for 2022 by the KMG Group of Companies amounted to 7.6 mln tons CO₂ (8.1 mln tons of CO₂-equiv.)²⁰.

The indicator of the intensity of CO₂ emissions was 114 tons CO₂ per 1,000 tons of extracted crude hydrocarbons, which is 4 % lower than the industry average of the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP), which is 119.

The increase in the intensity of CO₂ emissions is associated with the exit to full capacity of power generation sources. For information, the industry average indicator of the intensity of CO₂ emissions presented by the IOGP also increased from 113 to 119 tons CO₂ per 1,000 tons of produced HCs over the year.

A significant decrease in the intensity of CH₄ emissions is associated with a change in the methodology for methane emissions calculation at the national level.

In its activities, the Company does not emit ozone-damaging substances that affect climate change. Periodic inspection control and monitoring are carried out.
