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, historical data indicates that in 2019, the company reported a total SO2 emissions intensity of approximately 0.335 kg CO2e per MWh of electricity generated. This figure reflects the company's performance in managing its emissions, although specific total emissions in kg CO2e are not provided. Consumers Energy has not set formal reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) nor have they outlined specific climate pledges. This lack of defined targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions profile, it may not have publicly committed to specific reduction goals at this time. In summary, while Consumers Energy has demonstrated an awareness of its emissions through the reporting of SO2 emissions intensity, the absence of detailed emissions data and formal reduction commitments indicates a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy.
