Ge Aerospace

GE Aerospace, a US-based aircraft engine and engine parts manufacturer, has reported its carbon emissions for several years, alongside ambitious climate commitments.

Emissions Data:

• 2025: Total emissions were approximately 175.7 billion kg CO2e. This comprised Scope 1 emissions of about 317.5 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of approximately 222.1 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions, primarily from the use of sold products, totalling around 172.9 billion kg CO2e.
• 2024: Total emissions stood at approximately 28.7 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 288.7 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions were approximately 261.6 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions (use of sold products) were about 27.9 billion kg CO2e.
• 2023: Total emissions reached approximately 30.9 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions amounted to about 294.5 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions were around 434.1 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions (use of sold products) totalled approximately 30.6 billion kg CO2e.
• 2022: Total emissions were approximately 25.7 billion kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of about 282.5 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of approximately 436.0 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions (use of sold products) of about 25.1 billion kg CO2e.
• 2021: Total emissions were approximately 25.5 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 280.0 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions totalled about 418.0 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions (use of sold products) were approximately 24.8 billion kg CO2e.
• 2020: Total emissions were approximately 33.2 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were about 306.7 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions were around 403.7 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions (use of sold products) reached approximately 32.5 billion kg CO2e.
• 2019: Total emissions were approximately 52.2 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 428.0 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions were approximately 523.5 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions (use of sold products) were about 51.4 billion kg CO2e.

It is important to note that data for "scope_3/purchased_goods_and_services" was missing for all reported years.

Climate Commitments and Reduction Initiatives:

GE Aerospace has set a clear path towards decarbonisation:

• Net Zero by 2050: The company aims to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. This commitment includes not only GE Aerospace's own operations but also the significant Scope 3 emissions associated with the use of its sold products, particularly for commercial engines.
• Carbon Neutrality by 2030: GE Aerospace is committed to achieving carbon neutrality within its own operations, covering Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, by 2030.
• Progress on Scope 1 and 2: As of 2022, Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions showed a 28% reduction compared to the 2019 baseline. In a near-term target for 2025, the company reported a 43% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 (market-based) CO2e emissions versus the 2019 base year.
• Strategies for Reduction: To achieve its Scope 1 and 2 goals, GE Aerospace is implementing operational investments in energy efficiency, reducing emissions from the electricity grid through smart power sourcing, and employing lean practices to minimise energy waste. Initial focus areas include energy efficiency, acceptance testing fuel efficiency, carbon-free electricity, and exploring low-carbon fuels.

GE Aerospace is not currently reporting cascaded data from a parent organisation, indicating that its emissions reporting and climate commitments are managed independently at this level.
