Renewable Energy Group's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, Renewable Energy Group (REG), headquartered in the US, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 144,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 47,200,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and significant Scope 3 emissions, including about 1,009,181,000 kg CO2e from the use of sold products. The company also disclosed emissions from purchased goods and services (approximately 129,652,000 kg CO2e), upstream transportation and distribution (about 88,911,000 kg CO2e), and downstream transportation and distribution (approximately 85,572,000 kg CO2e). REG's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Chevron Corporation, which influences its climate commitments and reporting. However, REG has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate strategy, indicating a potential area for future development. The company has disclosed emissions across all relevant scopes (1, 2, and 3), demonstrating transparency in its environmental impact. Overall, while REG has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests that further commitments may be necessary to align with industry standards and expectations for climate action.
