Measuring the carbon intensity of our energy products

For TotalEnergies, the dual challenge of the energy transition is to provide the world with more energy while emitting less CO₂. The carbon intensity indicator measures our progress in decarbonizing the energy mix of our sales. But how is carbon intensity measured?

The carbon intensity indicator is calculated by dividing:

The following numerator:

• Emissions related to the production and processing of energy products used by TotalEnergies' customers, plus
• Emissions related to the use of energy products by TotalEnergies' customers. Products not intended for combustion such as bitumen, lubricants and plastics are not taken into account. Minus
• CO₂ sequestered by Capture Carbon and Storage (CCS) and natural carbon sinks.

By the following denominator:

• The amount of energy sold.

The indicator measures the average greenhouse gas emissions (CO₂ and methane) of a unit of energy sold to our customers across its lifecycle (i.e., Scopes 1+2+3), from production to final use.

It accounts for all the emissions related to our sales of energy products, including those produced by others.
