Österreichische Bundesbahnen (ÖBB), a railway transportation services company headquartered in Austria, reported total emissions of approximately 3.44 billion kg CO2e in 2024.

In 2022, ÖBB's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 259.11 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 16.36 million kg CO2e. Their Scope 3 emissions for 2022 included about 1.06 million kg CO2e from business travel, approximately 27.99 million kg CO2e from employee commute, roughly 58.41 million kg CO2e from waste generated in operations, and about 83.42 million kg CO2e from fuel and energy-related activities.

For 2021, ÖBB reported Scope 1 emissions of around 244.41 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 17.34 million kg CO2e. Their Scope 3 emissions for 2021 totalled about 95.15 million kg CO2e, which included roughly 0.27 million kg CO2e from business travel, approximately 27.89 million kg CO2e from employee commute, about 48.91 million kg CO2e from waste generated in operations, and roughly 64.69 million kg CO2e from fuel and energy-related activities.

In 2020, ÖBB's combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 334.41 million kg CO2e.

ÖBB has committed to achieving CO2 neutrality in the Group between 2040 and 2050, covering Scope 1, Scope 2 (including buildings), and Scope 3 emissions at varying depths. A near-term target aims for CO2-neutral ÖBB mobility sector by 2030, covering Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions (excluding buildings). Additionally, ÖBB targets Net-Zero emissions (a 90% greenhouse gas reduction compared to the 2022 baseline) or climate neutrality (offsetting residual emissions) in mobility and building sectors in Austria by 2035, contributing to the national climate neutrality goal of 2040.
