Insights into Duke Energy's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2024, Duke Energy has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2), but not its value chain emissions (Scope 3). This means its reduction efforts currently focus on direct and purchased energy emissions.
Does Duke Energy have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2024, Duke Energy has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
Duke Energy's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 80% by 2040, compared to a baseline of 138,800,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2005.
As of 2024, Duke Energy is on track to meet its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 55% of the planned reduction.
