NASCAR's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, NASCAR reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,792,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across Scope 1 (1,144,000 kg CO2e), Scope 2 (723,000 kg CO2e), and Scope 3 (1,925,000 kg CO2e). This marked a slight increase from 2020, when total emissions were about 3,634,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 978,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 838,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 1,818,000 kg CO2e. In 2019, NASCAR's emissions were significantly higher at approximately 4,982,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions of 1,518,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 1,104,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 2,360,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, NASCAR has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the organisation. As the motorsport industry faces increasing scrutiny regarding its environmental impact, NASCAR's future climate commitments will be crucial in addressing carbon emissions and promoting sustainability in racing.
