Consumers Energy's reported carbon emissions
As of the latest available data, Consumers Energy has not disclosed specific carbon emissions figures for recent years. However, their emissions intensity for sulphur dioxide (SO2) has been reported, with values of approximately 0.318 kg SO2/MWh in 2017, 0.329 kg SO2/MWh in 2018, and 0.335 kg SO2/MWh in 2019. These figures indicate a slight increase in emissions intensity over this period. Currently, Consumers Energy has not set any formal reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or similar frameworks. This absence of specific reduction initiatives suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. In the context of the energy sector, it is crucial for companies like Consumers Energy to establish clear carbon reduction goals to align with global climate commitments and to mitigate the impacts of climate change. As the industry moves towards decarbonisation, stakeholders will be looking for more robust commitments and measurable targets from Consumers Energy in the future.
