In 2024, the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 21,054,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 10,256,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 7,622,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, related to the consumption of purchased electricity. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions from the value chain, amounted to about 3,889,000 kg CO2e. In 2023, ARTC's emissions were recorded at 17,356,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 17,482,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 on a global scale, while in Australia, the figures were 10,217,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 7,984,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. The data indicates a consistent approach to emissions reporting, with disclosures covering all relevant scopes. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, ARTC has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of formal climate pledges suggests that while ARTC is actively monitoring its emissions, it has yet to establish a clear pathway for future reductions. Overall, ARTC's emissions data reflects a significant operational footprint, with a need for strategic climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability.
