Northern Gas Networks's reported carbon emissions

Northern Gas Networks (NGN) in GB has set ambitious climate commitments, including a target for net-zero non-shrinkage Scope 1 and 2 business carbon emissions by the end of the 2030/31 financial year. For the reporting year 2024, NGN reported total emissions of approximately 332,338,000 kg CO2e. This figure breaks down into: * **Scope 1:** Approximately 308,156,000 kg CO2e. * **Scope 2:** Approximately 9,000 kg CO2e (market-based). * **Scope 3:** Approximately 24,173,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from purchased goods and services (approximately 13,612,000 kg CO2e) and capital goods (approximately 7,286,000 kg CO2e). In the reporting year 2023, NGN's total emissions were approximately 21,630,000 kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions (approximately 1,219,000 kg CO2e, with stationary combustion accounting for approximately 324,874,000 kg CO2e within this scope category, although the presented total for Scope 1 does not reflect this larger figure), and Scope 3 emissions (approximately 13,374,000 kg CO2e), primarily from purchased goods and services (approximately 12,233,000 kg CO2e) and capital goods (approximately 6,490,000 kg CO2e). Scope 2 data for this year was not reported. For the reporting year 2022, NGN reported total emissions of approximately 22,406,000 kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1,394,000 kg CO2e (with stationary combustion contributing approximately 359,482,000 kg CO2e within this scope category, though not reflected in the reported Scope 1 total). Scope 3 emissions amounted to approximately 20,993,000 kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services being the largest contributor (approximately 14,590,000 kg CO2e) and capital goods following (approximately 6,163,000 kg CO2e). Scope 2 data was not reported for 2022. NGN is also working towards a target to be a net-zero carbon emissions business (Scopes 1 and 2) by 2045. In addition to these long-term goals, the company has near-term targets to reduce emissions by 29% by 2030. The emissions data for Northern Gas Networks appears to be the primary reporting for the organization, with no indication of data cascading from a parent or related organisation beyond "Northern Gas Networks Limited" for specific initiative sources.
