Con Edison's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Con Edison reported total carbon emissions of approximately 32,400,000,000 kg CO2e across all scopes. This includes about 2,676,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and approximately 620,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, related to the generation of purchased electricity. The majority of their emissions, about 32,400,000,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which encompasses all other indirect emissions that occur in the value chain. Comparatively, in 2022, Con Edison’s emissions were approximately 32,415,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 2,815,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at around 1,020,000,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight reduction in total emissions year-on-year. Despite these figures, Con Edison has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company continues to operate within the context of the energy sector, which is under increasing pressure to reduce carbon footprints and transition towards more sustainable practices.
