This follows emissions data from 2024, which showed total emissions of approximately 1.04 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at around 13.85 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 336.73 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 704.80 million kg CO2e. In 2021, TfL disclosed Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalling approximately 362.27 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions broken down into approximately 5.88 million kg CO2e from mobile combustion and 11.52 million kg CO2e from stationary combustion, and Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity at approximately 341.33 million kg CO2e.
TfL has set ambitious reduction targets:
- Net Zero Operations: TfL aims for net-zero operations by the end of December 2030.
- Science-Based Targets: TfL commits to reaching net-zero GHG emissions across its value chain by FY2040. This includes near-term targets to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by FY2030 from a FY2022 base year, and a 45% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions within the same timeframe. Long-term, TfL aims to maintain at least a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from FY2030 through FY2040, and a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by FY2040, all against a FY2022 baseline.
- Scope 1 and 2 Reduction: London Underground (LU) aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by the middle of this decade.
- Zero Carbon Rail Services: TfL aims for all TfL-controlled rail services to be zero carbon by 2030.
