The European Organization for Nuclear Research's reported carbon emissions

The European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN), headquartered in CH and operating in the "Other business services (74)" industry, has reported its carbon emissions for the years 2019 and 2020. In 2020, CERN's total emissions, encompassing Scope 1, 2, and 3, amounted to approximately 102.69 million kg CO2e. This figure was comprised of Scope 1 emissions totalling about 98.99 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 9.24 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for the same year were reported at about 1.86 million kg CO2e. Significant contributors to Scope 3 emissions in 2020 included employee commutes (approximately 1.86 million kg CO2e) and waste generated in operations (approximately 1.75 million kg CO2e). For 2019, CERN's total emissions were approximately 99.91 million kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions stood at about 78.16 million kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at approximately 10.67 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for 2019 were approximately 12.09 million kg CO2e, with employee commutes representing the largest portion at about 5.83 million kg CO2e. CERN's disclosed emissions cover Scopes 1, 2, and 3, with upstream categories also being disclosed. The organisation has not provided specific reduction targets or achievements in the provided data.
