In 2023, Alliant Energy reported total carbon emissions of approximately 13,631,273,000 kg CO2e, all of which fall under Scope 1 emissions. This marks a slight increase from 2022, when the company recorded about 13,233,399,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions. The data indicates a consistent focus on direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, with no reported Scope 2 or Scope 3 emissions for the years provided. Alliant Energy has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. The company has shown a historical trend in emissions, with a notable reduction from about 21,597,491,000 kg CO2e in 2005 to the current figures, indicating a long-term effort to manage and reduce its carbon footprint. However, without formal targets or initiatives, the path forward remains unclear. Overall, Alliant Energy's emissions data reflects its ongoing operations in the US, with a significant focus on managing Scope 1 emissions while lacking comprehensive strategies for broader climate commitments.
