Argonne National Laboratory's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, Argonne National Laboratory reported no specific carbon emissions data, as it has not disclosed any Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures. The laboratory's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that it operates independently in this regard. Currently, Argonne National Laboratory does not have any publicly stated reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of specific emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that the laboratory may be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. As a leading research institution in the US, Argonne National Laboratory is positioned to contribute to climate science and technology, but further transparency regarding its carbon footprint and climate strategies would enhance its accountability and alignment with global climate goals.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks

Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.

Argonne National Laboratory is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
