Southern Company Gas

Southern Company Gas, headquartered in the US and operating within the Gas Works Gas industry, has outlined ambitious climate commitments and reported on its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

For 2025, Southern Company Gas reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 83 billion kg CO2e. This follows Scope 1 emissions of about 79 billion kg CO2e in both 2024 and 2023. In 2021, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1.5 billion kg CO2e, with fugitive emissions contributing 960 million kg CO2e. Earlier data from 2007 shows significantly higher Scope 1 emissions of approximately 157 billion kg CO2e.

Southern Company Gas, as part of the broader Southern Company system, has established significant reduction targets. These include an intermediate goal to reduce GHG emissions by 50% from 2007 levels by 2030, and a long-term goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Preliminary data for 2025 indicates the Southern Company system has achieved an estimated GHG emission reduction of 47% since 2007, representing a slight increase from the 49% reduction reported in 2024.

The organisation's climate reporting indicates a focus on Scope 1 emissions, with limited disclosure for Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions. Missing data points, particularly for Scope 3 categories like purchased goods and services, are noted in their reports.

Emissions data for Southern Company Gas is cascaded from its parent organisation, The Southern Company. Initiatives and performance reporting are also linked to The Southern Company for certain frameworks, including CDP and CA100.
