TÜV
AUSTRIA Standards & Compliance has completed the calculation and
verification of CPC-K’s transportation carbon footprint (TCF). The verification was performed in accordance
with the international standard ISO 14064-3:2019, the principles of ISO 14065:2020
and ISO/IEC 17029:2019. A certificate issued as part of the third-party
verification in October 2025 stated that the third-party verification confirmed
that the TCF measurement procedure and associated reporting documentation were
compliant with the requirements of the international standard ISO 14067:2018.
The
TCF assessment was performed per 1 ton of CPC Blend crude oil transported via
the CPC pipeline within the CPC-K boundaries. The assessment’s boundaries CPC’s
operations sites CPC-K is entitled to make management decisions for. The
verification results indicate that CPC-K’s TCF is kg 6.94 CO2 e/ton
of product, which is significantly less than global averages for the industry.
Earlier
this year, TÜV AUSTRIA completed a verification procedure for a 2022 and 2023
product carbon footprint assessment report for the Russian segment of the oil
pipeline - Caspian Pipeline Consortium-R. It was confirmed that CPC-R's TCF is
kg16.57 and 17.45 СO2 e/t of
product, respectively, which is also below the industry averages.
