Cosan

Cosan, headquartered in BR and operating in the natural gas extraction services sector, has reported its carbon emissions for several years. In 2024, the company recorded approximately 594,000 kg CO2e in total emissions, comprising 213,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 21,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 360,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This follows 2023 emissions of approximately 550,000 kg CO2e (256,000 kg CO2e Scope 1, 13,000 kg CO2e Scope 2, and 291,000 kg CO2e Scope 3).

The company has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by the middle of this decade. For instance, in 2022, total emissions were approximately 268,000 kg CO2e (167,000 kg CO2e Scope 1, 13,000 kg CO2e Scope 2, and 88,000 kg CO2e Scope 3). Earlier data shows total emissions of approximately 225,000 kg CO2e in 2021 and 290,000 kg CO2e in 2020. In 2019, total emissions were approximately 364,000 kg CO2e, and in 2018, approximately 280,000 kg CO2e. Significantly, in 2016, Cosan reported substantially higher emissions, with approximately 1.58 billion kg CO2e in total, including 1.205 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1, 16.5 million kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 446.7 million kg CO2e for Scope 3. This contrasts with 2015, where total emissions were approximately 1.57 billion kg CO2e.

Cosan's reporting indicates that it is not inheriting emissions data from a parent organisation and is the primary source of its reported performance and initiatives. A notable area of missing data across multiple reporting years is Scope 3 emissions related to purchased goods and services.
