In 2023, Crusoe Energy Systems LLC reported total carbon emissions of approximately 433,100,000 kg CO2e in the US. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 312,800,000 kg CO2e, primarily from stationary combustion (approximately 311,300,000 kg CO2e) and mobile combustion (about 1,500,000 kg CO2e). The company also disclosed Scope 2 emissions, which totalled approximately 214,500,000 kg CO2e based on location-based accounting. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions were reported at around 83,100,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from capital goods (approximately 13,300,000 kg CO2e) and fuel and energy-related activities (about 83,100,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2022, Crusoe's total emissions in the US were approximately 310,100,000 kg CO2e, indicating an increase in emissions year-on-year. The breakdown for 2022 included Scope 1 emissions of about 234,100,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 2,700,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 3 emissions at around 76,000,000 kg CO2e. Crusoe Energy has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, nor have they disclosed any SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets. The absence of formal climate pledges or documented reduction initiatives suggests a need for further development in their sustainability strategy. Overall, while Crusoe Energy has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of reduction commitments highlights an area for potential growth in their climate strategy.
