Linde

Linde, a UK-headquartered company in the Other Basic Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing sector, reported its total greenhouse gas emissions as approximately 35.81 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This includes about 16.43 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, approximately 19.37 billion kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based) emissions, and roughly 24.59 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions.

Looking back, Linde's total emissions were approximately 37.41 billion kg CO2e in 2024, approximately 38.14 billion kg CO2e in 2023, and about 38.79 billion kg CO2e in 2022.

Linde has set several climate commitments. The company aims for climate neutrality by 2050 for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, based on IEA scenario analysis. More specifically, Linde commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 35% by 2035 from a 2021 base year. This target includes biogenic emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks and is classified as "Well-below 2°C" by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Additionally, Linde targets a 35% improvement in GHG intensity against EBITDA by 2035, also from a 2021 baseline. The company also aims to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 GHG over EBITDA intensity by 35% by 2028, with a 2018 baseline. Earlier targets included a 10% reduction in absolute Scope 1 emissions by 2028 (from a 2018 baseline) and a 7% improvement in Scope 2 GHG intensity at ASU plants over the same period.
