Tokyo Gas's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Tokyo Gas reported total carbon emissions of approximately 49,500,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 2, with Scope 1 emissions at about 4,675,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at around 240,000 kg CO2e. The company also disclosed significant Scope 3 emissions, amounting to approximately 49,277,000 kg CO2e. This data reflects a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, covering all three scopes. Comparatively, in 2022, Tokyo Gas's emissions from Scope 1 and 2 were about 4,654,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 4,394,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at around 260,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for that year were reported at about 53,515,000 kg CO2e. Tokyo Gas has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. Overall, Tokyo Gas's emissions data indicates a substantial carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which are often the most challenging to manage. The company’s ongoing efforts to address these emissions will be crucial in aligning with global climate goals.
