Tennessee Valley Authority's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 44,375,939,000 kg CO2e. This figure represents a decrease from 2022, when emissions were about 48,813,755,000 kg CO2e, comprising 41,184,773,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 122,840,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 57,573,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The TVA has disclosed emissions data for Scopes 1, 2, and 3 for the years 2021 and 2022, but specific data for 2023 is not broken down by scope. Despite the significant emissions figures, TVA has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets indicates a lack of formalised goals for emissions reduction. TVA's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, and all reported figures are derived directly from TVA's own disclosures. Overall, while TVA has made strides in reducing its emissions from 2022 to 2023, the lack of formal reduction targets suggests that further commitments may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate action.
