Uber의 기후 영향 평가 및 성과 보고서
The environmental impact of trips served by Uber’s platform matters. It’s our responsibility to measure that impact by evaluating data gathered from the real-world use of Uber, share the results publicly for greater transparency, and act to improve our climate performance.
November 2024 update: This page includes metrics for trips completed on Uber by internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs, such as battery EVs) from the beginning of the first quarter of 2021 to the end of the third quarter of 2024. Note that the scope of this report includes only Uber’s Mobility business (ridesharing).
"탄소 배출 제로를 향한 여정은 투명성을 요구하며 매해 진척 상황에 대해 책임져야 합니다. Uber는 고객의 상품 이용으로 인한 실질적인 배출량을 측정하고 보고한 최초의 모빌리티 플랫폼이라는 사실에 자부심을 느낍니다."

ZEV 기사
Globally, about 182,000 ZEV drivers a month, on average, actively used Uber’s app in Q3 2024. That’s 75% more than the same period a year earlier and 13 times the figure from the same period 3 years ago.
Metric: Average monthly active ZEV drivers on Uber, by quarter, since Q1 2021, the start of the first full calendar year after announcing our sustainability goals. Drivers using Uber’s app are counted as active in a given month if they’ve completed at least one trip in that calendar month.
ZEV 운행
In Q3 2024, ZEV drivers provided nearly 86 million tailpipe-emissions-free trips using Uber, globally. That’s over 70% more than the number of ZEV trips completed on Uber during the same period a year earlier, and more than 14 times the number from the same period 3 years ago.
Metric: Number of trips arranged on the Uber app and fulfilled by ZEV drivers, by quarter since Q1 2021.
ZEV 활용도
In Q3 2024, ZEV drivers completed 11.7% of all on-trip miles in Europe and 8.8% of all on-trip miles in Canada and the US. That represents increases of 3.5 and 2.3 percentage points, respectively, compared with the same period a year earlier. These results correspond with figures published in a recent BloombergNEF report that shows ZEV uptake by Uber drivers in Europe is happening about 5 times faster than that of drivers in the general public.
Metric: Share of on-trip miles completed in ZEVs compared with all on-trip miles arranged by the Uber app, by quarter since Q1 2021. Canada, US, and European benchmark data is as of 2023 and is sourced from the International Energy Agency. “BEV” refers to battery electric vehicles.
Passenger carbon intensity
In 2023, each mile that a passenger traveled on Uber resulted in an average generation of 191 grams of CO₂ in Europe (or 119 grams of CO₂ per kilometer) and 307 grams of CO₂ in the US and Canada (or 192 grams of CO₂ per kilometer). Compared with 2021, this passenger carbon intensity metric fell 16% in Europe and 15% across the US and Canada.
Metric: Passenger carbon intensity, or the estimated grams of CO₂ per passenger mile traveled, is an annual climate and efficiency metric used by Uber—and, increasingly, governments and companies around the world. In the case of ridesharing, or any on-demand mobility service, emissions produced by any “deadhead” miles—vehicle miles traveled without a passenger—are factored into the calculation.
For more details about how we calculate passenger carbon intensity, go to our methodology document. Note that significantly lower average fuel economy for vehicles on Uber in Europe versus the US and Canada explain most of the difference in carbon intensity in these 2 geographies. While the composition of vehicles that drivers use on Uber’s app in Europe is more efficient, with a higher proportion of ZEVs and hybrids, more-stringent fuel economy reporting standards in the US also contribute to this discrepancy. In addition, we lack access to sufficient input data to calculate passenger carbon intensity for trips completed in European markets before 2021.

자주 묻는 질문
- Uber의 최신 기후 영향 평가 및 성과 보고서에서는 어떤 내용을 다루나요?
Our Climate Assessment and Performance Report provides city officials, environmental advocates, users, and other stakeholders with performance-based metrics on emissions and electrification for passenger vehicle trips enabled by the Uber app.
- 이 보고서를 게시하는 이유는 무엇인가요?
The environmental impact of trips completed with Uber’s app matters. It’s our responsibility to report transparently on performance and take action to improve it. Our analysis shows that emissions resulting from the use of our platform are the most material component of Uber’s carbon footprint. This report, based on real-world use of our platform, helps provide greater transparency on our climate impact and helps us improve our efforts to support drivers’ fair transition to ZEVs and reduce emissions resulting from rides.
You can read our first report (2020) here and our second report (2021) here. Since our 2021 report, we have only published updates on this web page.
- 기후 영향 평가 및 성과 보고서에서 사용하는 주요 지표는 무엇인가요?
Metrics include the following:
- ZEV uptake by drivers on Uber (share of on-trip miles or kilometers completed in ZEVs), which measures our progress toward our goal of 100% zero-emission mobility on Uber globally by 2040
- Passenger carbon intensity, which measures the emissions resulting from every passenger mile
- How will this report improve emissions reduction and electrification uptake for rides on Uber?
We have bold ambitions to reduce the passenger carbon intensity of trips and increase the use of zero-emission vehicles on Uber. Measuring what you manage and being transparent on progress are important steps along the journey.
- Do riders take trips with Uber instead of using lower-carbon options like public transit?
Rides with the Uber app are one of many transportation options available to people who are looking for a ride. Trip choice depends a lot on various local market conditions. Our analysis of US National Household Travel Survey data shows that a higher per-household utilization of the most sustainable transportation modes (transit, walking, and biking) correlates with a higher utilization of ridesharing and other on-demand solutions.
- 전 세계의 다양한 국가나 지역에서 동일한 데이터가 측정되나요?
Our first report, published in 2020, covered the US and Canada. We added major European markets to our second report, published in 2021. Many of the above metrics now cover all passenger trips completed with the Uber app globally. We’re aligned to regular reporting on climate emissions and other impact areas resulting from trips on Uber. We aim to expand the geographic scope of markets covered in the report over time for all our reporting metrics, including ZEV uptake and passenger carbon intensity.
- 이러한 지표와 보고서는 얼마나 자주 업데이트되나요?
We update all metrics at least annually and may update some metrics more frequently. We will release emissions metrics (like passenger carbon intensity) annually, aggregated by calendar year.
- ‘무배출 차량’이란 무엇을 의미하나요?
We use the term “zero-emission vehicle” (ZEV) the same way the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Europe’s Transport & Environment (T&E) do: to refer to vehicles that produce no direct CO₂ emissions or other criteria air pollutants (such as NOx, particulate matter, CO₂, and SOx) from the on-board source of power. Regional variations should be considered at the reader’s discretion.
Drivers using Uber’s app use 2 types of ZEVs today: battery electric vehicles (battery EVs) and, very occasionally, hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs).
Of course, the “zero” in ZEV refers to no emissions from the proverbial “tailpipe” of the vehicle and not necessarily all the emissions that can be accounted for from production to disposal of the vehicle and its energy source. All accounted for, however, life-cycle analyses by independent experts show that “emissions over the lifetime of average medium-size battery EVs registered today are already lower than comparable gasoline cars by 66%–69% in Europe, 60%–68% in the United States, 37%–45% in China, and 19%–34% in India.”
