Our direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2) CO₂ emissions are related to the energy we consume. In 2021, our Scope 1 GHG emissions, which are primarily from our HyCO operations were 14.8 million metric tons (MT), representing a 1.5 percent decrease from the prior year. Our Scope 2 emissions, which are due in large part to the electricity and steam we consume in our ASUs, were 9.4 million MT in 2021, which was an 2.4 percent increase from 2020. In 2021, Air Products enabled its customers and their customers to avoid 82 million MT of CO₂e, which was more than three times Air Products’ combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions.

Our Scope 3 emissions were 7.6 million MT and included three categories: upstream fuel and energy related activities, use of sold products, and investments. We have initiated discussions with some of our largest suppliers and equity affiliates on reducing Scope 3 CO₂ emissions. Please see the GRI Content Index for additional information on the breakdown of our GHG data..

Our CO₂ emissions for 2021 were externally verified by GHD Limited.

Fleet Efficiency

We have trucking fleets around the world that are focused on safely and efficiently delivering our products to our customers. To improve our distribution efficiency and reduce our Scope 1 CO₂ emissions, we have many initiatives underway, including investments in new trucks, trailers, technology, and facilities.

Continuing efforts to modernize our fleets with new, more efficient trucks have increased fuel efficiency. Distribution efficiency has also been improved through the addition of trailers with higher payloads. In 2021 we launched a program to convert our distribution fleet to hydrogen. We also have increased the number of hybrid cars in our vehicle fleet.

Technology is also key to improving distribution efficiency and we are using data to help our truck delivery drivers be more agile in addressing driving parameters they can control, such as revving and idling. This is complemented by improvements in scheduling that improve efficiency, reduce miles, and decrease return trips.
