CMS Energy has set several ambitious climate commitments. The company aims for net zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire business by 2050, which includes emissions from its natural gas delivery system, suppliers, and customers. For its electric business, CMS Energy targets net zero carbon emissions by 2040, encompassing emissions from owned generation, as well as power purchased through long-term agreements and the MISO energy market.

Further specific targets include a plan to reduce carbon emissions from owned generation by about 80% from 2005 levels by 2040 (Scope 1 and Scope 2). As an interim step, the company aims to reduce carbon emissions from owned generation by approximately 60% from 2005 levels by the end of 2026 (Scope 1). Additionally, CMS Energy is committed to achieving net zero methane emissions from its natural gas delivery system by 2030, which involves an 80% reduction in methane emissions from 2012 levels. The company also plans to partner with customers to reduce their emissions by 20% by 2030, from a 2020 baseline (Scope 1).
