Insights into TransAlta's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2024, TransAlta 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 TransAlta have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2024, TransAlta has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
TransAlta's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 75% by 2026, compared to a baseline of 32,200,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2015.
As of 2024, TransAlta is ahead of schedule on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 93.59% of the planned reduction.
