CMS Energy has set several ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to achieve net zero carbon emissions from its electric business by 2040, encompassing emissions from owned generation and purchased power. This includes a target to reduce carbon emissions from owned generation by about 80% from 2005 levels by 2040 (covering Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions). As an interim step, it plans to reduce carbon emissions from owned generation by approximately 60% from 2005 levels by the end of 2026. Furthermore, CMS Energy is committed to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions for its entire natural gas production and delivery system by 2050. This broader goal includes emissions from customers and suppliers. For its natural gas delivery system, the company targets net zero methane emissions by 2030, which involves an approximately 80% reduction from 2012 methane emissions. Additionally, CMS Energy aims to partner with customers to reduce their emissions by 20% by 2030, from a 2020 baseline.
