Nvidia's reported carbon emissions
Nvidia, a US-based semiconductor company, reported total calculated emissions of approximately 11.02 billion kg CO2e in 2026. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of 9.82 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of 568,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of about 10.70 billion kg CO2e.
Looking back, Nvidia's total calculated emissions were approximately 7.15 billion kg CO2e in 2025, about 3.86 billion kg CO2e in 2024, and around 3.59 billion kg CO2e in 2023.
Nvidia has set several climate commitments. The company aims to achieve and maintain 100% renewable electricity for offices and data centres under its operational control by the end of FY25, and annually thereafter. This commitment is expected to result in zero Scope 2 market-based emissions by the end of FY25.
In line with a 1.5-degree Celsius warming scenario, Nvidia commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50% by FY2030 from a FY2023 base year. Additionally, Nvidia commits to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 75% per PetaFLOP within the same timeframe. These near-term targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
