Arq's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Arq, headquartered in the US, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 5,062,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 2,962,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This brings their combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions to around 8,024,000 kg CO2e. In the previous year, 2023, their global emissions were approximately 4,392,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 4,142,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, totalling around 8,535,000 kg CO2e for both scopes. Despite these figures, Arq has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. There are no emissions data for Scope 3, indicating a potential area for future focus. The absence of cascading data from a parent company suggests that Arq's emissions reporting is independent. Overall, while Arq has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of defined reduction targets highlights an opportunity for enhanced climate action in the coming years.
