National Museums Of Scotland

National Museums Of Scotland reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,458,530 kg CO2e for 2023. This included 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 prior year, 2022, their total emissions were about 2,911,450 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 1,354,360 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 121,570 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 1,435,520 kg CO2e.

National Museums Of Scotland has committed to achieving net-zero emissions across all scopes by 2045, with interim targets. They aim to limit organisational carbon emissions to no more than 3,075 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions (tCO2e) by 2030 and 1,230 tCO2e by 2040. Separately, they are committed to a 75% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030, also targeting net zero by 2045 for this scope. For heating-related emissions, covering Scope 1 and Scope 2, they project a 54% reduction by 2030 compared to 2022/23 levels (representing a reduction of 827 tCO2e).
