NICOR GAS's reported carbon emissions
In 2019, NICOR GAS reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 30,143,800,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes about 415,600,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and approximately 29,728,100,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The combined total for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions highlights the company's substantial impact on climate change. Currently, NICOR GAS has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This absence of defined goals suggests a need for enhanced commitment to reducing their carbon footprint in alignment with industry standards and climate action frameworks. As a major player in the gas distribution sector, NICOR GAS's emissions profile underscores the importance of implementing effective strategies to mitigate climate impact and transition towards a more sustainable operational model.
