Carbon Performance Origin Energy (Oil & Gas)

Carbon Performance alignment of companies in the Origin Energy (Oil & Gas) sector with the Paris agreement benchmarks.

Assessment Date:
TPI notes:

The company has not disclosed an emissions intensity that TPI can use to assess current and/or future Carbon Performance. The carbon intensity has been (re-)calculated according to TPI methodology. The company's 2016 carbon intensity has been calculated by TPI using the company's Scope 3 category 3 2017 emissions figure. The company has set targets to reduce its absolute emissions. To calculate this company’s targeted emissions intensity, TPI has assumed that: The company’s externally sold energy products grow according to the regional or global primary energy supply growth rate projected in the IEA’s Energy Technology Perspectives model ‘Reference Technology’ scenario. The company’s 2022 target covers a subset of Scope 1, 2 and 3 (use of sold products) emissions. The emissions intensities of all emissions not covered by the target are assumed to remain constant from the level of the latest disclosure. The company has set medium-term targets to reduce its emission intensity, but they could not be included in this assessment because they were inconsistent with TPI’s methodology. When interpreting TPI Carbon Performance data, it is important to bear in mind that climate science shows temperature change is proportional to cumulative absolute CO2 emissions.
