U.S. Department of Justice

The U.S. Department of Justice, a public administration and defence services entity headquartered in the US, reported approximately 806.5 million kg CO2e in total emissions for 2022. This figure encompasses both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.

Scope 1 emissions, primarily from direct sources such as mobile and stationary combustion, amounted to roughly 18.8 million kg CO2e. Stationary combustion contributed approximately 320.8 million kg CO2e, while mobile combustion accounted for about 3.1 million kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions, largely from purchased electricity, were approximately 463.8 million kg CO2e, with purchased electricity specifically contributing around 455.9 million kg CO2e.

The Department has disclosed Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions but has not provided data for Scope 3 emissions, which typically include categories like purchased goods and services, business travel, and employee commuting. The U.S. Department of Justice has not published any specific carbon reduction targets, nor is it part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Climate Pledge.
