Deutsche Lufthansa

Deutsche Lufthansa AG, headquartered in Germany and operating in air transport services, has reported its carbon emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3. For the year 2025, the company's total emissions were approximately 45.2 billion kg CO2e. This figure is comprised of about 29.6 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions, approximately 72 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and around 15.6 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3.

Looking at previous years, in 2024, Lufthansa's total emissions were about 42.9 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 29.2 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 at around 49 million kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 at approximately 13.7 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, total emissions were reported as 37.0 billion kg CO2e, including Scope 1 emissions of about 26.8 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 market-based emissions of approximately 91 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for 2023 totalled about 10.1 billion kg CO2e.

Lufthansa has established significant climate commitments. The company aims to halve its net carbon emissions by 2030 compared to 2019 levels, with the ultimate objective of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. This commitment is supported by a Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated reduction pathway for its 2030 climate protection target, which involves a 30.6% reduction in CO2 intensity per revenue tonne kilometre. Furthermore, Lufthansa is working towards CO2-neutral mobility on the ground in its home markets by 2030. Some specific targets, such as a 25% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions at Lufthansa Technik production sites by 2025 (compared to 2018), have already been met and exceeded.
