Nova Chemicals's reported carbon emissions

NOVA Chemicals, headquartered in CA and operating in the Chemicals nec industry, has reported Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 4,013 million kg CO2e for 2024, a slight increase from approximately 3,974 million kg CO2e in 2023. Prior to 2023, the company consistently reported Scope 1 emissions around 3.7 to 4.1 billion kg CO2e annually. In 2019, NOVA Chemicals reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 4,135 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 912 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 15,800 million kg CO2e. This represents a significant portion of their overall carbon footprint, with Scope 3 emissions being the largest contributor in that reporting year. Available data indicates that Scope 3 emissions data is not consistently reported for years after 2019, with a noted missing data point for "purchased goods and services" in most reports. Scope 2 emissions were also reported for 2018 (approximately 900 million kg CO2e) and 2017 (approximately 741 million kg CO2e), but not for years following 2019 in the provided data. NOVA Chemicals' climate commitments and reduction targets are inherited from its parent organisation, NOVA Chemicals Corporation, where it functions as a current subsidiary at cascade level 2. The specific details of their reduction initiatives and targets are not itemised separately, but the company's sustainability efforts are aligned with those of its corporate family.
