Canadian Utilities's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Canadian Utilities reported total carbon emissions of approximately 24,090,000,000 kg CO2e across all scopes. This includes 682,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 188,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. The majority of their emissions, about 23,220,000,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which includes emissions from the use of sold products and fuel and energy-related activities. Comparatively, in 2022, the company emitted approximately 24,511,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 776,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 246,000,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for that year were about 23,000,000,000 kg CO2e. Despite these significant emissions figures, Canadian Utilities has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. As a major utility provider, Canadian Utilities is positioned to play a crucial role in advancing sustainability and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in alignment with global climate goals.
