Österreichische Bundesbahnen's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Österreichische Bundesbahnen (ÖBB) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 259,114,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 16,355,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 227,755,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This indicates a significant reliance on both direct and indirect emissions sources, with Scope 3 emissions being particularly high, reflecting the impact of business travel, employee commuting, and purchased goods and services. In 2021, ÖBB's emissions were approximately 261,751,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 35,550,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 88,339,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3, showing a slight decrease in Scope 1 and an increase in Scope 3 emissions compared to 2022. The trend in emissions highlights the challenges faced in reducing carbon footprints across all scopes. Despite these figures, ÖBB has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon emissions. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the organisation. As a major player in the transportation sector, ÖBB's climate actions will be crucial in addressing the broader industry context of carbon emissions and sustainability.
