In 2020, Atmos Energy reported significant carbon emissions, with approximately 21,542,376,000 kg CO2e attributed to Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products. This figure represents a decrease from 2019, when emissions were about 23,609,151,000 kg CO2e, and from 2018, which recorded approximately 23,454,023,000 kg CO2e. The trend indicates a gradual reduction in emissions over the years, with 2017 emissions at about 19,479,172,000 kg CO2e and 2016 at approximately 20,166,615,000 kg CO2e. Despite these reductions, Atmos Energy has not disclosed any specific targets for further emissions reductions or climate commitments, such as Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets. The company appears to focus primarily on Scope 3 emissions, with no reported data for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. This highlights a potential area for improvement in their overall climate strategy, as comprehensive emissions reporting is essential for effective climate action.
