Micron's reported carbon emissions
Micron, a US-based semiconductor company, is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. For the fiscal year 2025, the company reported a total of approximately 6.1 billion kg CO2e. This breaks down into approximately 2.3 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1 and approximately 3.8 billion kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based). Scope 3 emissions data was not disclosed for this year.
In fiscal year 2024, Micron's total emissions were approximately 6.6 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were about 2.6 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) were approximately 4.0 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalled approximately 4.6 billion kg CO2e.
Micron has set ambitious climate targets. The company aims to achieve net-zero GHG emissions in its operations (Scope 1) and for purchased energy (Scope 2) by 2050. As a significant milestone towards this goal, Micron is targeting a 42% absolute reduction in Scope 1 emissions by 2030, based on a 2020 baseline, which is in line with the Paris Agreement. The company's reporting for fiscal year 2023 showed total emissions of approximately 6.8 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 2.7 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 4.1 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for 2023 were approximately 3.7 billion kg CO2e.
Micron's emissions reporting shows fluctuations in total emissions over recent years. For fiscal year 2022, total emissions were approximately 7.6 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 3.5 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) at approximately 4.1 billion kg CO2e. In 2021, total emissions for Scope 1 and 2 (market-based) were approximately 7.1 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions being about 3.3 billion kg CO2e. Prior to that, for fiscal year 2020, Scope 1 and 2 (market-based) emissions were approximately 6.7 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions around 3.0 billion kg CO2e. In 2019, Scope 1 and 2 (market-based) emissions were approximately 6.7 billion kg CO2e, and in 2018, they were approximately 6.1 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1 and Scope 2 location-based). The company's emissions data for 2015 shows Scope 1 and 2 total emissions of approximately 3.2 billion kg CO2e.
Micron's climate commitments are directly reported by the organisation and are not cascaded from a parent company. The company has disclosed its emissions data and reduction targets across its operations and purchased energy.
