Sector Benchmark

Note: Latest GHG and revenue data (based on tradingview.com) are used to calculate GHG emissions intensity by sector. The color scale of each bubble depends on the GHG intensity (GHG emissions per 1 million USD revenue). Sectors follow the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) that organize companies based on their primary business activities. The 11 sectors are : Information Technology, Health Care, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, Industrials, Consumer Staples, Energy, Utilities, Real Estate, and Materials.

Sempra Energy belongs to the sector Utilities.

Offsets

Last update for Sempra Energy by zerotracker.net: June 23, 2025
Planning to use external offset credits Yes
Separate targets for emission reductions and removals No
Conditions on use of offset credits
  • No conditions specified
Plans for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) Yes (CCS-based removals e.g. BECCS, DACCS)

Additional notes: "Sempra headquarters and Sempra California offices and service centers strive to operate with renewable electricity, either through generating renewable power on-site, using renewable energy from the grid, purchasing renewable energy credits or subscribing to renewable or green tariffs where available by local utilities." pp52-53 "Even in a state of “net zero,” GHG emissions would likely still be generated, but with innovation and continued development of new technology and solutions, it can allow an equal amount of carbon dioxide or its equivalent to be removed from the atmosphere, resulting in a zero increase in overall net emissions" p49 Commercial scale CCS facilities in plan for 2025 - 2035 (p55) "Sempra Infrastructure continues to evaluate the development of carbon capture and sequestration projects: Hackberry Carbon Capture and Sequestration (HCS) and Titan Carbon Sequestration (TCS). The HCS project is designed to permanently sequester carbon dioxide emissions from the Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility and the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project. The TCS project in Texas has the potential to capture CO2 from Port Arthur LNG operations and unlock additional emissions reduction pathways. The proposed project would benefit from the acquisition in 2023 of approximately 38,000 acres of pore space, and its proximity to the Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 construction project, offering strategic advantages for CO2 transport and storage.
