Entergy, a US-based electricity distribution and trade services company, has reported significant carbon emissions across its operations. For the year 2024, the company's total emissions reached approximately 70.5 billion kg CO2e. This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions totalling about 42.9 billion kg CO2e, primarily from stationary combustion, with additional contributions from mobile combustion and fugitive emissions. Scope 2 emissions for purchased electricity were approximately 150,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were substantial, amounting to about 27.5 billion kg CO2e, with key categories including fuel and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, and purchased goods and services.

In 2023, Entergy's total emissions were approximately 63.3 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions stood at around 35.9 billion kg CO2e, again heavily influenced by stationary combustion. Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity were about 157,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalled approximately 27.2 billion kg CO2e.

Entergy has established ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, a goal that encompasses all scopes, greenhouse gases, and business segments. Further strengthening its decarbonisation strategy, Entergy has set an interim target to reduce its utility emission rate by 50% by 2030 compared to 2000 levels. Additionally, Entergy aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 50% from a 2020 baseline by 2030. A near-term objective is to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by 2025. Entergy also committed to achieving 50% carbon-free energy capacity by 2030.
