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.
Machinery and Equipment has above-average carbon intensity
The Machinery and Equipment industry has reduced its overall emissions by 37% since 2018
Scope 3 accounts for ••• of total emissions.
NASA's latest reported emissions for 2023 include Scope 1 emissions of approximately 268.5 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 423.2 million kg CO2e. For 2022, their Scope 1 emissions were approximately 268.3 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 394 million kg CO2e. In 2019, NASA reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 31.4 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 3.6 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 27.9 million kg CO2e.
NASA has committed to a near-term Scope 1 and 2 reduction target. They aim for a 50% reduction in annual Scope 1 and 2 emissions by fiscal year 2032, using a 2008 baseline. This target follows reported reductions of 49% by FY2021 and 51% by FY2022 against the 2008 baseline.
