Risks and opportunities
Trend
CNPC receives a trend score of -. If the company were reassessed in the near future, its score would likely decrease. The company has started research into developing renewable energy, but this is still at an early stage. The company aims for a higher proportion of natural gas and renewables in its domestic energy output by 2030, and to increase this even further by 2050. However, it fails to provide clarity on the business model and strategy that will help achieve this ambition.
With no robust low-carbon transition plan, and no specific targets for reducing its scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions intensity, CNPC is not on track to achieve the low-carbon transition aligned with its 1.5°C pathway.
