Mahanagar Gas's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Mahanagar Gas reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,141,745,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 232,847,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 91,526,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 2,817,372,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This represents a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, where in 2022, total emissions were about 2,327,658,000 kg CO2e. Mahanagar Gas has disclosed emissions data for all three scopes, indicating a comprehensive approach to tracking their carbon footprint. However, the company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, which may limit their ability to effectively address climate change impacts. The company’s emissions profile highlights the importance of focusing on Scope 3 emissions, which constitute the majority of their total emissions, primarily from the use of sold products. This suggests a need for strategies aimed at reducing emissions throughout their value chain. Overall, while Mahanagar Gas has made strides in transparency regarding their emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets may hinder their long-term climate strategy.
