In 2022, PNM Resources reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4,844,547,041 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and approximately 339,438,593 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This reflects a decrease from 2021, where emissions were about 5,571,595,736 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and approximately 296,376,347 kg CO2e for Scope 2. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Despite these reductions, PNM Resources has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments in line with industry standards. The reported emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that PNM Resources operates independently in its emissions reporting. The company continues to focus on improving its sustainability practices, although further commitments and targets would strengthen its climate strategy.
