Nvidia's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Nvidia reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,514,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 12,346,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 60,671,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 3,514,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This represents a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, particularly in Scope 3, which encompasses the majority of their carbon footprint. Nvidia's emissions data from 2022 indicates a total of about 2,701,477,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 4,612,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 78,210,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 2,701,477,000 kg CO2e. The company has shown a trend of increasing emissions over the years, with Scope 3 emissions consistently being the largest contributor. Despite the rising emissions, Nvidia has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company has disclosed its emissions across all three scopes, demonstrating transparency in its reporting practices. Overall, while Nvidia's emissions have increased, the lack of defined reduction targets raises questions about its long-term climate commitments and strategies for mitigating its environmental impact.
