In 2024, the company's total emissions were 5,969,631,000 kg CO2e, comprising 266,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 280,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (location-based), and 5,423,631,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3.

For 2023, Drax reported total emissions of 978,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3, and 400 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based). No Scope 1 or location-based Scope 2 data was reported for this year.

Drax has set ambitious climate commitments, including a Group target to achieve net-zero across Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 2030, with the aim of being carbon negative by the same year. By 2050, the company aims to deliver carbon removals significantly in excess of emissions.

Drax's Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments, which are set by Drax Group plc, include:

• Reducing Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from electricity generation by 75.7% per MWh by 2030 from a 2020 base year. This target boundary includes biogenic emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks.
• Reducing Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions from all sold electricity by 75.7% per MWh over the same timeframe.
• Reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from all other sources by 42% by 2030 from a 2020 base year.
• Reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from all other sources by 42% by 2030 from a 2020 base year.

Additionally, Drax aims to reduce its non-generation Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2020 baseline. The company also aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by 2025. At Drax Power Station, the company is targeting 8 million metric tonnes per annum of negative emissions by 2030 through the development of Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS).
