This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 29,159,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 124,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 13,734,000,000 kg CO2e. The previous year, 2023, saw total emissions of about 36,976,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 26,822,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 161,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 10,063,000,000 kg CO2e. Lufthansa has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to halve its net carbon emissions by 2030 compared to 2019 levels, with a long-term goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. This commitment encompasses all scopes of emissions, including significant targets for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions reductions. Specifically, Lufthansa Technik has already exceeded its target of a 25% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025, achieving a 32% reduction by the end of 2021. Additionally, Lufthansa has committed to a 30.6% reduction in well-to-wake greenhouse gas emissions related to jet fuel per revenue tonne kilometre by 2030, as validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This target includes emissions from bioenergy feedstocks but excludes non-CO2e effects contributing to aviation-induced warming. Overall, Deutsche Lufthansa's climate strategy reflects a proactive approach to reducing its carbon footprint and addressing the challenges of climate change within the aviation sector.
