NASCAR's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, NASCAR reported total emissions of approximately 49,900 kg CO2e per race per team, a slight increase from about 47,800 kg CO2e in 2020 and a significant decrease from about 65,500 kg CO2e in 2019. These figures reflect emissions that are not specifically categorised under Scope 1, 2, or 3. The energy emissions associated with NASCAR events were approximately 30,900 MWh per race per team in 2021, down from about 32,500 MWh in 2020 and 42,800 MWh in 2019. Despite these emissions figures, NASCAR has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or climate pledges. The organisation does not appear to have cascaded emissions data from any parent company or related organisation, as indicated by the absence of such relationships in their reporting. NASCAR's commitment to addressing climate change remains vague, with no documented initiatives or targets for emissions reduction currently available. As the motorsport industry continues to evolve, NASCAR's future climate commitments will be crucial in aligning with broader sustainability goals.
