Nissan's reported carbon emissions

Nissan, a prominent motor vehicle manufacturer headquartered in Japan, has established comprehensive climate commitments with a long-term vision of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 across its vehicle lifecycle and all business activities. In terms of emissions, for the year 2024, Nissan reported a total of approximately 155 billion kg CO2e. This figure encompasses Scope 1 emissions, amounting to about 442 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions, totalling approximately 1.08 billion kg CO2e. The majority of Nissan's emissions stem from Scope 3, with a reported figure of about 153.5 billion kg CO2e, largely driven by the use of sold products, which contributed approximately 125 billion kg CO2e. Looking at previous years, Nissan's total emissions in 2023 were approximately 160 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 477 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at roughly 1.25 billion kg CO2e. In 2022, total emissions were around 157.7 billion kg CO2e, including Scope 1 emissions of approximately 585 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of about 1.19 billion kg CO2e. Prior to that, in 2021, total emissions stood at approximately 168.6 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 588 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 1.24 billion kg CO2e. In 2020, Scope 1 emissions were around 550 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 1.2 billion kg CO2e. Nissan is committed to significant emission reductions. Through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), Nissan has pledged to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030, using a 2018 baseline. Additionally, the company aims to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 32.5% per vehicle kilometre over the same timeframe. Nissan also aims for net-zero carbon emissions across all scopes by 2050, aligning with a well-below 2°C trajectory. Further targets include reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions to near zero by mid-decade and a 30% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 from a 2020 baseline. In manufacturing, Nissan targets a 52% reduction in CO2 emissions from global production sites by 2030, compared to 2018 levels.
