- Increasing Scope 3 carbon emissions due to increased demand for global travel.
- High cost and limited supply of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
- Managing legacy site contamination.
GE Aerospace
Greenhouse gas emissions & sustainability report data
In its 2023 reporting, GE Aerospace disclosed greenhouse gas emissions of 728.6K tCO2e/year (Scope 1 & 2). By scope: Scope 1: 294.5K tCO2e/year; Scope 2: 434.1K tCO2e/year (market-based); Scope 3: 30.62 million MTCO2 (use of sold products). Figures are as stated in the company's own report and may use different boundaries, units or methods (for example market-based vs location-based Scope 2), so compare with care.
