The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), headquartered in the United States, is a pivotal entity in the machinery and equipment n.e.c. (29) industry. Established in 1958, NASA has been at the forefront of space exploration and aeronautics research, achieving significant milestones such as the Apollo moon-landing missions and the Mars rover explorations.
With major operational centres across the US, including the Kennedy Space Center and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NASA's core services encompass space missions, satellite development, and advanced aeronautics technologies. Its unique capabilities in launching and managing complex space missions position it as a leader in the aerospace sector. Notable achievements, such as the Hubble Space Telescope and the International Space Station, underscore NASA's commitment to innovation and exploration, solidifying its reputation as a cornerstone of scientific advancement.
-14 vs industry average
NASA’s score of 13 is lower than 32% of the industry. This can give you a sense of how well the company is doing compared to its peers.

The Machinery and Equipment industry has reduced its overall emissions by 37% since 2018
Scope 3 accounts for ••• of total emissions.
NASA, a US-based organisation in the Machinery and equipment sector, reported its most recent emissions for 2023. Scope 1 emissions, encompassing direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by NASA, amounted to approximately 268.4 million kg CO2e, including 3.44 million kg CO2e from mobile combustion, 109.42 million kg CO2e from process emissions, and 155.76 million kg CO2e from stationary combustion. Scope 2 emissions, primarily from purchased electricity, totalled approximately 423.15 million kg CO2e. There is no disclosed Scope 3 emissions data for 2023.
In 2022, NASA's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 268.31 million kg CO2e, with about 3.76 million kg CO2e from mobile combustion, 106.61 million kg CO2e from process emissions, and 157.94 million kg CO2e from stationary combustion. Scope 2 emissions for 2022 were about 393.96 million kg CO2e, with 351.86 million kg CO2e specifically from purchased electricity.
For 2019, NASA reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 31.42 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of about 3.57 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of roughly 27.86 million kg CO2e.
NASA has committed to a near-term, absolute reduction target for Scope 2 emissions. This target aims for a 49% reduction in annual Scope 1 and 2 emissions (metric tons CO2e) by 2032, from a 2008 baseline.
