Southern Company Gas's reported carbon emissions

Southern Company Gas, headquartered in the US and operating within the Gas Works Gas industry, has made significant commitments to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. For 2025, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 83 billion kg CO2e. This follows Scope 1 emissions of about 79 billion kg CO2e in 2024 and 79 billion kg CO2e in 2023. In 2021, Southern Company Gas reported Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 1.5 billion kg CO2e, with fugitive emissions contributing about 960 million kg CO2e. Southern Company Gas's reduction targets are cascaded from its ultimate parent, The Southern Company. The Southern Company system has established ambitious goals, including an intermediate target of a 50% GHG emissions reduction from 2007 levels by 2030 and a long-term goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. As of the preliminary 2025 data, the Southern Company system has achieved an estimated GHG emission reduction of 47% since 2007, nearing its 2030 target. In 2024, this reduction stood at approximately 49% from 2007 levels. The company's disclosed emissions data primarily covers Scope 1. There is a noted data gap for Scope 3 emissions, specifically regarding purchased goods and services, across several reporting years. While Scope 2 and comprehensive Scope 3 data are not explicitly detailed for the most recent years, the company's overarching strategy reflects a commitment to emissions reduction aligned with its parent organisation's net-zero aspirations.
