Deutsche Lufthansa's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Deutsche Lufthansa reported total carbon emissions of approximately 26,822,114,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 26,822,114,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 90,673,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 10,062,778,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This reflects a commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting. Lufthansa has set ambitious climate targets, aiming to reduce its well-to-wake greenhouse gas emissions related to jet fuel from owned operations by 30.6% per revenue tonne kilometre (RTK) by 2030, using 2019 as the base year. This target encompasses all scopes of emissions and includes 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 to sustainability is further underscored by its alignment 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 efforts to mitigate non-CO2e impacts, demonstrating a proactive approach to climate responsibility.
