In 2019, Arizona Public Service (APS) reported significant carbon emissions totalling approximately 12,298,802,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 12,298,802,000 kg CO2e, which represent direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Additionally, Scope 2 emissions were approximately 13,694,000 kg CO2e, reflecting indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity. Scope 3 emissions, which account for other indirect emissions, were reported at about 2,171,000 kg CO2e. Despite the substantial emissions figures, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from APS. This lack of specific commitments highlights a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. As the energy sector increasingly focuses on sustainability, APS may need to consider establishing measurable reduction targets to align with industry standards and expectations for climate action.
