This represents a decrease from 2022, when the EPA's total emissions were 16,495,000 kg CO2e, comprising 495,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 15,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3.
The EPA has set several climate commitments. It aims for a 51% reduction in overall Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, using 2018 as a baseline year. Additionally, the EPA programmes are targeting a 50% reduction in black carbon emissions by 2028, relative to 2013, for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. The organisation is also working towards net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2050, aligned with federal sustainability goals.
