Evergy's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Evergy reported carbon emissions of approximately 23,429,233,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 sources, alongside 3,409,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 and 8,659,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a notable decrease from 2022, where Scope 1 emissions were about 27,594,888,000 kg CO2e, indicating a commitment to reducing their carbon footprint. Over the years, Evergy has demonstrated a fluctuating trend in emissions, with Scope 1 emissions peaking at approximately 29,716,109,000 kg CO2e in 2018. The company has also reported Scope 2 emissions of 3,350,000 kg CO2e in 2022 and 3,409,000 kg CO2e in 2023, showing a slight increase, while Scope 3 emissions have varied, with 9,345,000 kg CO2e in 2022 and 8,659,000 kg CO2e in 2023. Despite these figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by Evergy, which may limit their ability to align with industry standards for climate action. The absence of Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments suggests a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. Overall, while Evergy has made strides in reducing emissions, further commitments and structured reduction targets could enhance their sustainability efforts.
