On Tuesday, November 10, TotalEnergies backed a new progress report from the Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter at COP31 in Antalya. The report said participating oil and gas companies were moving from emissions targets toward action plans, investment and operational measures.
The initiative brings together 57 companies operating in more than 100 countries and representing about one-third of global oil and gas production, according to the TotalEnergies press release. Its 2026 status report said 52 of 56 signatories covered by the reporting period submitted emissions information, while 46 had set interim 2030 Scope 1 and 2 ambitions.
Methane remains a near-term priority
The report said 42 signatories had action plans to end routine flaring, while 39 had methane action plans. TotalEnergies Chairman and Chief Executive Patrick Pouyanne said methane reductions and the elimination of routine flaring remain priorities that can be pursued with existing technologies.
The company presented the initiative as part of a broader effort to improve operational efficiency and energy resilience. The report also said 35 signatories had allocated capital to support their interim emissions goals, and that lower-carbon investments and acquisitions reported for 2025 totaled about 28 billion US dollars.
