In 2024, the company's Scope 1 emissions were around 266 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (location-based) were about 280 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were approximately 5.42 billion kg CO2e. For 2023, Drax reported total emissions of around 4 billion kg CO2e, including Scope 1 emissions of 300 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of 200 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of 3.5 billion kg CO2e.

Drax is committed to ambitious climate targets. The company aims to achieve net zero across all Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 2030. Specifically, Drax is targeting 8 million tonnes per annum (Mt p.a.) of negative emissions from Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) at Drax Power Station by 2030, covering Scope 1, 2, and 3. The company also aims to reduce its non-generation Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2020 baseline. Furthermore, Drax has a Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitment to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from electricity generation by 75.7% per MWh by 2030 from a 2020 base year. This SBTi target also includes a 42% absolute reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions from all other sources by 2030 from a 2020 base year. Drax's long-term aim is to deliver carbon removals far in excess of emissions by 2050, demonstrating a clear pathway towards carbon negativity.
