Consumers Energy's reported carbon emissions
Consumers Energy, headquartered in the US, has reported its carbon emissions data for the years 2017 to 2019, with no specific emissions figures disclosed. The company operates under the umbrella of CMS Energy Corporation, which influences its sustainability initiatives and emissions reporting. In 2019, Consumers Energy's emissions intensity for sulphur dioxide (SO2) was approximately 0.335 kg CO2e per MWh of electricity generated. This figure reflects a slight increase from 2018, where the intensity was about 0.329 kg CO2e per MWh, and from 2017, which recorded an intensity of about 0.318 kg CO2e per MWh. However, specific total emissions data for Scope 1, 2, or 3 are not available, indicating a lack of detailed reporting on direct and indirect emissions. Despite the absence of concrete reduction targets or commitments, Consumers Energy is part of a corporate family that may influence its climate strategies. The company does not currently disclose any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or specific climate pledges, which suggests a potential area for future development in their sustainability efforts. Overall, while Consumers Energy has made strides in reporting emissions intensity, the lack of comprehensive emissions data and reduction commitments highlights the need for enhanced transparency and accountability in their climate strategy.
