Con Edison's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Con Edison reported total carbon emissions of approximately 32,400,000,000 kg CO2e across all scopes. This includes about 2,676,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and approximately 620,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, which are indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity. Notably, Scope 3 emissions, which encompass all other indirect emissions, accounted for about 32,400,000,000 kg CO2e. Con Edison has made significant commitments to reduce its carbon footprint. The company aims for a 54% reduction in its carbon emissions by 2050, a target that translates to the equivalent of removing about 500,000 vehicles from the road. This reduction is based on a 2005 baseline. Additionally, Con Edison plans to invest $1.5 billion in energy efficiency initiatives by 2025, targeting a 30% reduction in Scope 2 emissions. Looking towards the future, Con Edison has set ambitious long-term goals, including achieving net-zero direct (Scope 1) emissions from electric co-generation by 2040 and an 85% reduction in fugitive methane emissions from its natural gas delivery system by the same year. These commitments reflect the company's proactive approach to addressing climate change and its dedication to sustainability.
