Deutsche Lufthansa's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Deutsche Lufthansa reported total carbon emissions of approximately 37,000,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: about 26,822,114,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 90,673,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 10,062,778,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This data highlights the airline's significant carbon footprint, particularly from its direct operations and supply chain. Lufthansa has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce its well-to-wake greenhouse gas emissions related to jet fuel by 30.6% per revenue tonne kilometre (RTK) by 2030, using 2019 as the baseline year. This target encompasses emissions from all scopes, including land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks, although it does not account for non-CO2e effects that may contribute to aviation-induced warming. The airline's commitment aligns with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which classifies its targets as consistent with limiting global warming to well below 2°C. Lufthansa is also dedicated to reporting annually on its progress and collaboration with stakeholders to mitigate the non-CO2e impacts of aviation. Overall, Deutsche Lufthansa's climate strategy reflects a proactive approach to addressing its carbon emissions while striving for sustainability in the aviation sector.
