Devon County Council

Devon County Council, headquartered in GB, has set a near-term net-zero target to reduce corporate carbon emissions by 70% by 2030, compared to a 2012/13 baseline. The remaining 30% will be offset to achieve net-zero.

While no absolute emissions data is disclosed for 2024, 2023, 2022, or 2019, the Council reported total emissions for other years. In 2021, the Council's total emissions were 19,738,000 kg CO2e, comprising approximately 2,207,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, approximately 4,969,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and approximately 12,562,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3.

This represents a reduction from 2020, when total emissions were 21,641,000 kg CO2e (approximately 2,598,000 kg CO2e Scope 1, approximately 6,250,000 kg CO2e Scope 2, and approximately 12,791,000 kg CO2e Scope 3). Further back, in 2017, total emissions were 30,623,000 kg CO2e (approximately 3,456,000 kg CO2e Scope 1, approximately 14,173,000 kg CO2e Scope 2, and approximately 12,994,000 kg CO2e Scope 3). In 2013, total emissions stood at 41,735,000 kg CO2e (approximately 4,667,000 kg CO2e Scope 1, approximately 18,701,000 kg CO2e Scope 2, and approximately 18,367,000 kg CO2e Scope 3).
