Cms Energy's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, CMS Energy reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,601,445,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, with Scope 2 emissions at about 1,782,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions reaching approximately 43,078,000 kg CO2e. This reflects a continued commitment to monitoring and managing their carbon footprint. Over the years, CMS Energy has demonstrated a significant reduction in emissions. For instance, in 2021, their Scope 1 emissions were approximately 3,265,919,000 kg CO2e, indicating a downward trend in their operational emissions. The company has also reported Scope 2 emissions of about 10,797,000 kg CO2e in 2021, which further highlights their efforts to reduce indirect emissions associated with energy consumption. Despite these reductions, CMS Energy has not publicly committed to specific science-based targets or climate pledges, which may limit their accountability in the broader context of climate action. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for more defined strategies to align with global climate goals. Overall, while CMS Energy has made strides in reducing its carbon emissions, the lack of formal commitments to reduction targets may impact its long-term sustainability efforts.
