In 2024, Deutsche Lufthansa reported total carbon emissions of approximately 42,942,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions accounting for about 29,159,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 49,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching about 13,734,000,000 kg CO2e. This represents a significant increase from 2023, where total emissions were about 36,976,000,000 kg CO2e. Lufthansa has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to halve its net carbon emissions from flight operations by 2030 compared to 2019 levels. This target encompasses all scopes of emissions and is part of a broader strategy to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Specifically, the airline aims for a 50% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, with a notable achievement of exceeding a 25% reduction target at Lufthansa Technik production sites by 2021, achieving a 32% reduction compared to 2018. Additionally, Lufthansa has committed to reducing its well-to-wake greenhouse gas emissions related to jet fuel by 30.6% per revenue tonne kilometre (RTK) by 2030, as validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This commitment includes land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks, although it does not account for non-CO2e effects contributing to aviation-induced warming. Overall, Deutsche Lufthansa's climate strategy reflects a proactive approach to addressing its carbon footprint, with clear targets and a commitment to transparency in reporting progress.
