Ge Aerospace's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, GE Aerospace reported total carbon emissions of approximately 28.4 billion kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 283.4 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 261.6 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products, which accounted for about 27.9 billion kg CO2e. GE Aerospace has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net zero carbon emissions for Scope 1 and 2 operational emissions by 2030. As part of their near-term targets, they have achieved a 43% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions (market-based) compared to a 2019 baseline. Additionally, they are committed to reducing absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 90% by 2050, with interim targets of a 42% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 25% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030, both from a 2022 base year. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and reflect GE Aerospace's commitment to contributing to the industry's net zero ambition by 2050. The emissions data and targets are cascaded from their parent company, General Electric Company, ensuring a unified approach to sustainability across the corporate family.
