Southern Company Gas

Southern Company Gas, headquartered in the US and operating in the Gas Works Gas industry, has set ambitious climate goals. The company has established GHG emissions reduction targets, including an intermediate goal of a 50% reduction from 2007 levels by 2030 and a long-term goal of net zero by 2050.

In terms of emissions data, the most recent available figures are for 2025, where Scope 1 emissions were approximately 83,000,000,000 kg CO2e. In 2024, Scope 1 emissions were around 79,000,000,000 kg CO2e, and in 2023, they were also approximately 79,000,000,000 kg CO2e. Prior to these years, Scope 1 emissions were reported in the range of 1,300,000,000 kg CO2e to 1,500,000,000 kg CO2e for years 2017 through 2021, with specific mention of fugitive emissions in some of these years. For instance, in 2021, Scope 1 emissions were 1,500,000,000 kg CO2e, including 960,000,000 kg CO2e of fugitive emissions. In 2020, Scope 1 emissions were 1,400,000,000 kg CO2e, with 910,000,000 kg CO2e attributed to fugitive emissions. In 2019, Scope 1 emissions were 1,300,000,000 kg CO2e, with 790,000,000 kg CO2e being fugitive emissions.

It is important to note that the available data primarily focuses on Scope 1 emissions, with Scope 2 and Scope 3 data not being disclosed for these reporting years. The company's sustainability executive summary for 2022 also reported a methane emissions intensity rate for Scope Not Specified emissions.

The company's emissions reduction progress is tracked relative to 2007 levels. Based on preliminary 2025 emissions, Southern Company Gas has achieved an estimated GHG emission reduction of 47% since 2007. This compares to an estimated 49% reduction in 2024. These figures indicate progress towards their intermediate and long-term reduction goals.

Furthermore, Southern Company Gas inherits certain climate data from its parent company, The Southern Company. Specifically, its CDP and CA100 initiatives are cascaded from The Southern Company, which is at cascade level 1 in this relationship. Performance data originates from Southern Company Gas itself at cascade level 0.
