Nvidia's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Nvidia reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,514,000,000 kg CO2e globally. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 12,346,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 60,671,000 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions totalling around 3,514,000,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions are primarily driven by purchased goods and services, which account for about 2,975,189,000 kg CO2e. In the US, Nvidia's emissions for 2020 were reported at approximately 484,666,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions of about 2,817,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 65,936,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching around 415,913,000 kg CO2e. Despite the substantial emissions figures, Nvidia has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The company is part of a broader industry context where many tech firms are increasingly committing to sustainability and carbon neutrality, but specific commitments from Nvidia remain unspecified. Overall, Nvidia's emissions data highlights the significant environmental impact of its operations, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which are often the most challenging to manage.
