The lifetime emissions from Boeing commercial aircraft deliveries in 2023 were estimated at 427 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e). That year, 528 commercial aircraft were delivered worldwide by Boeing. The estimated lifetime emissions of Boeing commercial aircraft deliveries has almost doubled since 2020 as deliveries have increased.

(in million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent)
This statistic has been compiled from multiple annual sustainability reports.
The figures in this statistic are for Scope 3 GHG — use of sold products (Commercial Airplanes). Use of sold products emissions are based on estimated lifetime emissions of Boeing Commercial Airplanes product deliveries, including direct emissions from combustion of fuel and indirect emissions from production of fuel.
Greenhouse gas emissions are calculated from CO₂, CH4, N₂O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6, and NF3 for this data set using EPA emissions factors and assume no benefit from sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
