MDU Resources's reported carbon emissions

MDU Resources, a construction work company headquartered in the US, has reported Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions data for recent years. In 2024, its Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1.82 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were about 73.4 million kg CO2e. The preceding year, 2023, saw Scope 1 emissions of approximately 1.87 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of about 88 million kg CO2e. In 2022, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1.87 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were around 80.1 million kg CO2e. For 2021, MDU Resources reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 2.13 billion kg CO2e, with fugitive emissions at approximately 2.6 million kg CO2e and stationary combustion at 0 kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions for 2021, on a market-based approach, were approximately 2.66 billion kg CO2e, with purchased electricity at about 465.3 million kg CO2e. MDU Resources's electric utility, Montana-Dakota Utilities, has established a significant climate commitment. It aims to reduce its carbon dioxide emission intensity from electric generation resources by 45% by 2030, using 2005 as the baseline year. This target applies to both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. As of 2023, the company had achieved a 38% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions intensity. Furthermore, MDU Resources is analysing potential pathways to achieve net-zero carbon emissions from its electric generation resources by 2050, aligning with the guidance of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures. The company's 2024 Impact Report indicates a continued commitment to this 45% reduction of GHG emissions intensity by 2030 compared to 2005 levels for owned and co-owned electric generation resources.
