National Grid

National Grid, a GB-based company providing transmission services of electricity, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 37.02 billion kg CO2e in 2026. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of approximately 5.00 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of about 64.0 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 60.96 billion kg CO2e. In the previous year, 2025, their total emissions were approximately 35.86 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 4.47 billion kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 28.44 billion kg CO2e.

National Grid is committed to significant climate action, with multiple Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) aligned targets. They aim to achieve net zero for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 2050. Near-term targets include an 80% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030 from a 1990 base-year. This is equivalent to a 50% absolute reduction from a 2016 base-year. Furthermore, they commit to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 37.5% by 2034 from a 2019 base year. Other commitments include reducing SF6 emissions from operations by 50% by 2030 (from a 2019 baseline) and a 20% reduction in energy consumption in offices by 2030 (from a 2019 baseline). The company also aims for carbon neutral construction by 2026.
