Ge's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, General Electric (GE) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 113,528,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 139,701,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. The company also disclosed significant Scope 3 emissions, totalling about 6,800,000,000 kg CO2e, which includes upstream and downstream transportation and distribution. Over the years, GE has shown a trend in its emissions data. In 2022, the company recorded Scope 1 emissions of about 670,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 960,000,000 kg CO2e, alongside Scope 3 emissions of around 6,800,000,000 kg CO2e. In 2021, the figures were 740,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 1,070,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 505,000,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. Despite these figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by GE, such as those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while GE is aware of its emissions, it has not publicly committed to specific reduction goals at this time. Overall, GE's emissions data reflects its ongoing challenges in managing carbon outputs, particularly in Scope 3, which represents a significant portion of its total emissions.
