Renewable Energy Group's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, Renewable Energy Group (REG) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,144,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 144,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 47,200,000 kg CO2e (market-based). The majority of their emissions stem from Scope 3, particularly from the use of sold products, which accounted for about 1,009,181,000 kg CO2e. REG has disclosed emissions data across all three scopes, demonstrating transparency in their reporting. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while REG is actively monitoring its emissions, it has not yet formalised specific goals for reducing its carbon footprint. Overall, REG's emissions profile highlights the significant impact of its operations, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which are critical for understanding the full climate impact of their products and services.
