Argonne National Laboratory's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, Argonne National Laboratory reported no specific carbon emissions data, as the details regarding Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions were not disclosed. The laboratory has not set any formal reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. While there are emissions factors related to greenhouse gas emissions from various processes, such as the GHG emissions of meat and edible meat offal and renewable diesel via biochemical pathways, these figures do not provide a comprehensive overview of the laboratory's total emissions. As of now, Argonne National Laboratory does not inherit emissions data from any parent organisation, indicating that its climate commitments and emissions reporting are independent. The laboratory's focus appears to be on research and development in energy and environmental sciences, which may contribute to broader climate initiatives in the future.
