TAP Air Portugal, headquartered in Portugal within the Air transport services industry, reported its carbon emissions for 2024. The airline's Scope 1 emissions were about 5.45 billion kg CO2e (5,448,884,000 kg CO2e), primarily from mobile combustion (about 3.90 billion kg CO2e) and stationary combustion (about 1.55 billion kg CO2e). Scope 2 market-based emissions were approximately 2.10 million kg CO2e (2,097,000 kg CO2e), while location-based Scope 2 emissions were around 713,000 kg CO2e. TAP Air Portugal did not report Scope 3 emissions for 2024.

In 2023, TAP Air Portugal's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 5.44 billion kg CO2e (5,439,746,000 kg CO2e), with mobile combustion accounting for about 3.80 billion kg CO2e and stationary combustion for about 1.64 billion kg CO2e. Scope 2 market-based emissions were around 2.38 million kg CO2e (2,377,000 kg CO2e), and location-based Scope 2 emissions were about 2.14 million kg CO2e (2,139,000 kg CO2e). Scope 3 emissions were not disclosed for 2023.

For 2022, the airline's Scope 1 emissions totalled approximately 5.28 billion kg CO2e (5,283,024,000 kg CO2e), with mobile combustion contributing about 3.42 billion kg CO2e and stationary combustion about 1.86 billion kg CO2e. Scope 2 market-based emissions were around 2.63 million kg CO2e (2,628,000 kg CO2e), and location-based Scope 2 emissions were about 2.07 million kg CO2e (2,072,000 kg CO2e). Scope 3 emissions were not reported for this year.

In 2021, TAP Air Portugal's total reported emissions were about 3.44 billion kg CO2e (3,441,290,000 kg CO2e), comprising Scope 1 emissions of approximately 3.44 billion kg CO2e (3,438,705,000 kg CO2e) and Scope 2 emissions of about 2.59 million kg CO2e (2,586,000 kg CO2e). The airline did not provide Scope 3 emissions data for 2021.

For 2020, total reported emissions for TAP Air Portugal were approximately 3.01 billion kg CO2e (3,011,226,000 kg CO2e), with Scope 1 emissions at about 3.01 billion kg CO2e (3,009,027,000 kg CO2e) and Scope 2 emissions at about 2.20 million kg CO2e (2,199,000 kg CO2e). Scope 3 emissions were not disclosed for 2020.

TAP Air Portugal has not publicly reported specific reduction targets through initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges. However, the company has provided production emission factors, including CO₂ emissions per passenger-kilometre and jet fuel consumption per passenger-kilometre for several years, indicating an internal focus on efficiency metrics. For example, in 2024, CO₂ emissions were 0.0834 kg CO2e per passenger-kilometre and jet fuel consumption was 0.0333 units per passenger.
