Uniper's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Uniper reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 19,400,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions, 3,923,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions (market-based), and a staggering 77,300,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 1 emissions primarily stem from stationary combustion processes, while Scope 3 emissions are largely attributed to the use of sold products, which alone accounted for about 62,400,000,000 kg CO2e. Uniper has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, indicating a lack of formalised strategies under frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This absence of defined reduction targets suggests that while Uniper is aware of its emissions profile, it may not yet have established concrete plans to mitigate its carbon footprint effectively. Overall, Uniper's emissions data highlights the substantial environmental impact of its operations, particularly in the context of its global activities, and underscores the need for robust climate action strategies moving forward.
