Drax

Drax, a UK-based company in the electricity generation sector, reported its Scope 1 emissions at about 3.01 billion kg CO2e in 2025, with Scope 2 emissions (location-based) at approximately 256 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at around 18.05 billion kg CO2e. In 2024, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 266 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (location-based) were about 280 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions stood at roughly 5.42 billion kg CO2e.

Drax is committed to achieving net-zero across its Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 2030, with a long-term goal to deliver carbon removals significantly exceeding emissions by 2050. The company targets negative emissions of 8 million metric tonnes per annum (Mt p.a.) at Drax Power Station by 2030 through Bioenergy Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) initiatives, covering both Scope 1 and Scope 2.

Drax has set Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved near-term targets. These include reducing Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from electricity generation by 75.7% per MWh by 2030, using a 2020 baseline. The company also aims for a 42% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from all other sources by 2030, and a 42% absolute reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions from all other sources by 2030, both against a 2020 baseline. These targets include biogenic emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks. Drax is committed to achieving net-zero for its long-term targets.
