National Museums Of Scotland's reported carbon emissions

National Museums Scotland's latest reported emissions data for 2023 shows a total of approximately 3,458,530 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 1,623,500 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 125,460 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions amounting to approximately 1,709,560 kg CO2e. In 2022, the total emissions were approximately 2,911,450 kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 at approximately 1,354,360 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 121,570 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 1,435,520 kg CO2e. National Museums Scotland is committed to significant carbon reduction targets. By 2030, they aim to achieve an organisational carbon emissions total of no more than 3,075 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions (tCO2e). Further targets include reducing emissions to 1,230 tCO2e by 2040, and achieving net zero by 2045. Additionally, there is a commitment to a 75% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030. Specifically for heating-related emissions, the organisation aims for a 54% reduction by 2030, which equates to a reduction of 827 tCO2e compared to the 2022/23 total of 1,545 tCO2e.
