European Molecular Biology Laboratory's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 51,713,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 2,478,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 8,852,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 40,383,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalled about 11,349,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, EMBL's total emissions were about 56,776,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 2,986,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 9,838,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 43,952,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a reduction in total emissions of approximately 5,063,000 kg CO2e from 2022 to 2023. EMBL has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The organisation's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent company, indicating that all reported figures are independently sourced from EMBL itself. Overall, EMBL's commitment to monitoring and reporting its carbon emissions reflects a growing awareness of climate impact within the scientific community, although specific reduction strategies remain unspecified.
