TfL's Carbon Emissions and Climate Commitments: A Summary

Transport for London (TfL), a major entity in the 'Other land transportation services' industry based in GB, is actively engaged in addressing its carbon footprint and climate impact.

Latest Emissions Data:

In 2026, TfL reported total Scope 1 and 2 emissions of approximately 245,913,000 kg CO2e, alongside Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 2,500,000,000 kg CO2e. For 2025, the figures were approximately 331,903,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2, and 3,100,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. In 2024, TfL's emissions breakdown was approximately 13,846,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 336,732,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 704,795,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3.

Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

TfL has set ambitious targets to achieve net-zero emissions. Key commitments include:

• Net Zero by 2030: TfL aims for net-zero operations by the end of December 2030.
• Science-Based Targets: TfL has committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), pledging to reach net-zero GHG emissions across its value chain by Fiscal Year (FY) 2040. This includes near-term targets of a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by FY2030 from an FY2022 baseline, and a 45% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions within the same timeframe. Long-term goals involve maintaining at least a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions from FY2030 through FY2040, and a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 emissions by FY2040, all from the FY2022 baseline.
• Pension Fund Targets: The Trustee of the TfL Pension Fund has committed to achieving a 55% reduction in its carbon emissions intensity by 2030 at the latest, with a 100% reduction no later than 2045, against a 2016 baseline.
• Scope 1 and 2 Near-Zero Aims: London Underground (LU) aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by the middle of the current decade.
• Carbon Neutrality by 2030: TfL is committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2030, with an ongoing effort to minimise the footprint of its data centre portfolio.
• Zero Carbon Rail Services: TfL aims for all TfL-controlled rail services to be zero carbon by 2030.
• Corporate Emissions Reduction: A target of a 60% reduction in TfL Corporate CO2 emissions on 1990 levels was set for 2025.
