Con Edison's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Con Edison reported total carbon emissions of approximately 36.4 billion kg CO2e, comprising 2.4 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1, 900 million kg CO2e from Scope 2, and about 32 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 2023, where they were approximately 2.4 billion kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions increased from 600 million kg CO2e to 900 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, decreasing slightly from about 32.4 billion kg CO2e in 2023. Con Edison has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net-zero direct (Scope 1) emissions for electric co-generation from their steam system by 2040. Additionally, they plan to achieve an 85% reduction in fugitive methane emissions from their natural gas delivery system by the same year. The company has also committed to investing $1.5 billion in energy efficiency initiatives by 2025, targeting a 30% reduction in Scope 2 emissions. Since 2005, Con Edison has successfully reduced its carbon footprint by 54%, equivalent to removing approximately 500,000 vehicles from the road. These initiatives demonstrate Con Edison’s commitment to addressing climate change and reducing its overall environmental impact.
