Queensland's reported carbon emissions
Queensland's climate commitments include a legislated target of achieving net zero emissions by 2050, established by the Clean Economy Jobs Act 2024. This legislation also mandates a 75% emissions reduction below 2005 levels by 2035, and a near-term target of a 30% reduction below 2005 levels by 2030.
In 2021, Queensland reported total emissions of approximately 139.7 billion kg CO2e. This figure encompasses Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions, with Scope 2 data not being disclosed for that year. The breakdown for 2021 includes Scope 1 mobile combustion emissions of about 21.8 billion kg CO2e and fugitive emissions of approximately 20.4 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions from waste generated in operations were reported at about 3.1 billion kg CO2e.

- 2020: Total emissions were approximately 154 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 mobile combustion at about 22.1 billion kg CO2e and fugitive emissions at roughly 21.6 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 waste generated in operations was around 3.3 billion kg CO2e.
- 2019: Total emissions were approximately 158.4 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 mobile combustion at about 23.6 billion kg CO2e and fugitive emissions at around 20.2 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 waste generated in operations was approximately 3.1 billion kg CO2e.
- 2018: Total emissions were approximately 169.8 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 mobile combustion at about 23.7 billion kg CO2e and fugitive emissions at roughly 21.3 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 waste generated in operations was approximately 3.1 billion kg CO2e.
- 2017: Total emissions were approximately 162.3 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 mobile combustion at about 22.3 billion kg CO2e and fugitive emissions at around 19.9 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 waste generated in operations was approximately 3 billion kg CO2e.
- 2016: Total emissions were approximately 157.8 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 mobile combustion at about 22.2 billion kg CO2e and fugitive emissions at roughly 20.3 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 waste generated in operations was approximately 3.1 billion kg CO2e.
- 2015: Total emissions were approximately 167.6 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 mobile combustion at about 21.2 billion kg CO2e and fugitive emissions at around 19.4 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 waste generated in operations was approximately 3.1 billion kg CO2e.
- 2014: Total emissions were approximately 169.7 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 mobile combustion at about 21 billion kg CO2e and fugitive emissions at approximately 16.1 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 waste generated in operations was around 3 billion kg CO2e.
