Atmos Energy's reported carbon emissions

As of 2020, Atmos Energy reported significant carbon emissions, specifically in Scope 3, with approximately 21,542,376,000 kg CO2e attributed to the use of sold products. This figure reflects a decrease from previous years, with emissions of about 23,609,151,000 kg CO2e in 2019, 23,454,023,000 kg CO2e in 2018, and 19,479,172,000 kg CO2e in 2017. The company has not disclosed any Scope 1 or Scope 2 emissions data. Despite the notable reductions in emissions from 2017 to 2020, Atmos Energy has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further clarity on their long-term climate strategy. Overall, while Atmos Energy has made progress in reducing emissions, the lack of formal commitments may limit their impact in the broader context of climate action.
