Southern Company Gas's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Southern Company Gas reported approximately 79,000,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions. This figure reflects a slight decrease from 2023, where total emissions were about 79,544,734,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 79,264,124,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 280,610,000 kg CO2e (market-based). Southern Company Gas, as a current subsidiary of The Southern Company, inherits its emissions data and climate commitments from its parent organisation. However, there are no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed in their recent reports. The company has not set Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets, nor does it participate in other notable climate pledges. The emissions data indicates a consistent focus on managing and reporting greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in Scope 1, which includes direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. The absence of Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions data suggests a potential area for future reporting and improvement. Overall, Southern Company Gas is positioned within a broader industry context that increasingly prioritises transparency and accountability in climate commitments, although specific reduction strategies remain unspecified at this time.
