Deutsche Lufthansa's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Deutsche Lufthansa reported total carbon emissions of approximately 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 reflects the company's ongoing commitment to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions. Lufthansa has set a target 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 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. Lufthansa's emissions reduction strategy aligns with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and is classified as consistent with efforts to limit global warming to well below 2°C. The airline is committed to publicly reporting on its progress and collaboration with stakeholders to mitigate the non-CO2e impacts of aviation annually throughout the target timeframe.
