Adani Power's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Adani Power reported total carbon emissions of approximately 49,030,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 46,004,710 kg CO2e from Scope 2, alongside Scope 3 emissions of about 1,614,009,270 kg CO2e. This reflects a commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting, covering all three scopes of greenhouse gas emissions. The company has set a GHG emission intensity target of 840 kg CO2e per MWh for 2025, indicating a proactive approach towards reducing their carbon footprint. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed in their reports, suggesting a need for further commitment to climate action. Adani Power's emissions data shows a trend of decreasing Scope 1 emissions from 58,970,000,000 kg CO2e in 2020 to 49,030,000,000 kg CO2e in 2023, highlighting efforts to improve operational efficiency. The company operates within the context of a rapidly evolving energy sector, where sustainability and carbon reduction are increasingly critical. Overall, while Adani Power has made strides in emissions reporting and has set future targets, the absence of detailed reduction initiatives may limit their effectiveness in addressing climate change comprehensively.
