Bloom Energy's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Bloom Energy reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,678,927,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 7,613,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based). This marks an increase from 2023, where emissions were approximately 2,207,448,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 5,954,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based). The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Over the past few years, Bloom Energy has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, although specific reduction targets or initiatives have not been outlined in their recent reports. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively monitoring its emissions, it has not yet formalised specific goals under frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Bloom Energy's emissions data is sourced directly from the company, with no cascading from a parent organisation. The company continues to focus on its operational emissions while exploring avenues for future sustainability commitments.
