As of the latest available data, Consumers Energy has not disclosed specific carbon emissions figures for the years 2019, 2018, or 2017. However, they have reported emissions intensity metrics related to sulphur dioxide (SO2) for electricity generation, with values of approximately 0.335 MWh in 2019, 0.329 MWh in 2018, and 0.318 MWh in 2017. These figures indicate a slight improvement in emissions intensity over the years. Currently, Consumers Energy has not set specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or any other formal climate pledges. This lack of disclosed reduction initiatives suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. In summary, while Consumers Energy has shown some progress in reducing emissions intensity, detailed carbon emissions data and formal reduction commitments remain unspecified. The company operates within a broader industry context that increasingly prioritises sustainability and carbon reduction, highlighting the importance of establishing clear climate goals moving forward.
