National Museums Of Scotland

National Museums Of Scotland, a UK-based organisation in the recreational, cultural, and sporting services industry, reported approximately 3,458,530 kg CO2e in total carbon emissions for 2023. This includes Scope 1 emissions of approximately 1,623,500 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of about 125,460 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 1,709,560 kg CO2e. In the previous year, 2022, total emissions were around 2,911,450 kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 1,354,360 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of roughly 121,570 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 1,435,520 kg CO2e.

National Museums Of Scotland has established several climate commitments. The organisation aims for an organisational carbon emissions total of no more than 3,075,000 kg CO2e by 2030, reducing further to 1,230,000 kg CO2e by 2040, and achieving net-zero emissions by 2045 across all scopes. Specifically for Scope 1 emissions, with funding support, they target a 54% reduction in heating-related carbon footprint by 2030 compared to the 2022/23 total of 1,545,000 kg CO2e, equating to a reduction of 827,000 kg CO2e. A similar 54% reduction target for heating-related carbon footprint by 2030 is also set for Scope 2 emissions. The organisation is committed to achieving a 75% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030 and net-zero by 2045 for Scope 3 emissions.
