CMS Energy has set ambitious climate commitments. These include a pledge to achieve net zero carbon emissions from its electric business by 2040, encompassing owned generation and purchased power. Furthermore, the company aims for net zero greenhouse gas emissions from its entire natural gas production and delivery system by 2050, which includes emissions from customers and suppliers. As an interim step, they intend to partner with customers to reduce their emissions by 20% by 2030, from a 2020 baseline. For its natural gas delivery system, CMS Energy has a specific goal to achieve net zero methane emissions by 2030, with an interim target of reducing methane emissions by about 80% from 2012 levels through initiatives like accelerating pipe replacement and rehabilitating infrastructure. Additionally, their Clean Energy Plan aims to reduce carbon emissions from owned generation by about 60% from 2005 levels by the end of 2026.
