Canadian National Railway

Canadian National Railway (CN), headquartered in Canada and operating in the railway transportation services industry, reported a total of approximately 7.09 billion kg CO2e for the year 2024. This total comprises approximately 4.84 billion kg CO2e of Scope 1 emissions, approximately 110.77 million kg CO2e of Scope 2 emissions (market-based), and approximately 2.20 billion kg CO2e of Scope 3 emissions.

For 2023, CN reported total emissions of approximately 7.38 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 4.31 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 93.76 million kg CO2e (location-based). Scope 3 emissions for this year included approximately 506.69 million kg CO2e from capital goods, 201.64 million kg CO2e from purchased goods and services, and 1.33 billion kg CO2e from fuel and energy-related activities.

CN has established a science-based target to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity by 43% per million gross ton miles (GTMs) by 2030, using 2019 as the base year. Furthermore, the company is committed to reducing Scope 3 GHG emissions intensity from fuel and energy-related activities by 40% per GTM by 2030, also from a 2019 base year. CN has also committed to achieving net-zero GHG emissions across its value chain by 2050. This long-term goal includes a target to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050, compared to the 2019 baseline. As of 2024, CN reported 27% progress towards its 2030 target for Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions intensity.
