Climate Goals & Targets
Long-term Goals:
- Net Zero emissions in the future by utilising technology, such as renewables, batteries, and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and through implementing best operating practices to reduce GHG emissions.
Medium-term Goals:
- Not disclosed
Short-term Goals:
- Not disclosed
Environmental Challenges
- Potential risks associated with the Company’s growth strategy and vision to become a Net Zero emissions producer for its equity share of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Achievement of Tamboran’s vision of becoming a Net Zero emissions producer of gas is presently uncertain and depends on Tamboran being able to economically manage its carbon emissions, which could for example be impacted by availability of future revenues to fund various carbon initiatives, market pricing of carbon offsets, technological developments affecting operations and costs of implementing sustainable practices.
Mitigation Strategies
- Utilizing technology, such as renewables, batteries, and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and through implementing best operating practices to reduce GHG emissions. Using high-quality carbon offsets to reduce any residual GHG emissions.
Supply Chain Management
Responsible Procurement
- Employing local contractors and service providers
