Micron's reported carbon emissions
Micron Technology, Inc., headquartered in the US, reported substantial carbon emissions across its operations. In 2025, the company's total emissions were approximately 6.1 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 2.3 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 3.8 billion kg CO2e. This marks a decrease from 2024, when total emissions stood at roughly 6.6 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 2.6 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) at about 4 billion kg CO2e. Micron has set ambitious climate commitments. The company targets net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for its operations (Scope 1) and purchased energy (Scope 2) by 2050. As part of this, Micron aims for a milestone of a 42% absolute reduction in Scope 1 emissions by 2030, using the calendar year 2020 as a baseline. This near-term target is aligned with the Paris Agreement. The company's emissions data for recent years shows a general trend of reduction in total Scope 1 and 2 emissions: * **2025:** Approximately 6.1 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 2.3 billion kg CO2e; Scope 2 Market-Based: 3.8 billion kg CO2e) * **2024:** Approximately 6.6 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 2.6 billion kg CO2e; Scope 2 Market-Based: 4.0 billion kg CO2e) * **2023:** Approximately 6.8 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 2.7 billion kg CO2e; Scope 2 Market-Based: 4.1 billion kg CO2e) * **2022:** Approximately 7.6 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 3.5 billion kg CO2e; Scope 2 Market-Based: 4.1 billion kg CO2e) * **2021:** Approximately 7.1 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 3.3 billion kg CO2e; Scope 2 Market-Based: 3.8 billion kg CO2e) * **2020:** Approximately 6.7 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 3.0 billion kg CO2e; Scope 2 Market-Based: 3.6 billion kg CO2e) * **2019:** Approximately 6.7 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 3.2 billion kg CO2e; Scope 2 Market-Based: 3.5 billion kg CO2e) * **2018:** Scope 1 emissions were approximately 2.9 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were about 3.2 billion kg CO2e. Micron's reporting does not yet include Scope 3 emissions data, with "purchased goods and services" being a noted missing data point. The company's climate commitments are self-reported and not currently cascaded from a parent organisation.
