In 2024, EQT Corporation reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 745,016,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 80,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 22,899,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. The previous year, 2023, saw Scope 1 emissions at about 309,228,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 125,870,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 21,973,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a significant commitment to reducing emissions across all scopes. EQT has set ambitious targets to achieve net zero for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by or before 2025. This commitment is part of their broader strategy to enhance sustainability and reduce their carbon footprint. Additionally, they aim to reduce Scope 1 GHG emissions intensity by approximately 70% to below 160 metric tons CO2e per billion cubic feet equivalent (Bcfe) by 2025, compared to 2018 levels. The company is on track to meet these targets, having achieved a 35% year-over-year reduction in Scope 1 emissions intensity in 2023. Furthermore, EQT has committed to a 42% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030 from a 2023 base year. EQT's climate initiatives reflect a proactive approach to environmental responsibility, aligning with industry standards and expectations for climate action.
