Insights into Green Plains's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2023, Green Plains has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover both its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and value chain emissions (Scope 3), offering a comprehensive view of its total carbon footprint.
Does Green Plains have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2023, Green Plains has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
Green Plains's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 37.8% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 3,537,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2021.
Instead of reducing operational emissions, Green Plains has increased them, with 2023 levels exceeding those of the 2021 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.
Green Plains's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does Green Plains have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2023, Green Plains has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 1 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.
Green Plains's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 22.5% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 2,342,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2021.
Instead of reducing value chain emissions, Green Plains has increased them, with 2023 levels exceeding those of the 2021 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.
