In 2024, GE Aerospace reported total carbon emissions of approximately 28,335,900 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 26,156,300 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and a staggering 27,860,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions related to the use of sold products. This brings the combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions to about 54,492,200 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2023, the company recorded Scope 1 emissions of about 29,453,700 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 43,405,600 kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions of around 30,620,000,000 kg CO2e. The total for Scope 1 and 2 was about 72,859,200 kg CO2e. GE Aerospace has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net zero carbon emissions for Scope 1 and 2 operational emissions by 2030. This target is part of a broader initiative to propel the aerospace industry towards net zero by 2050. The company has achieved a 43% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions (market-based) compared to a 2019 baseline, demonstrating significant progress towards its goals. The company’s long-term targets include a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions 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 commitments are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and reflect GE Aerospace's dedication to sustainable practices in the aerospace sector.
