Alliander, a transmission services provider based in the Netherlands, reported a total of approximately 717.4 million kg CO2e in emissions for 2024. This figure encompasses Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. Scope 1 emissions accounted for about 171.5 million kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions were approximately 22,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were the largest contributor, totalling approximately 545.8 million kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services being a significant component at around 304.2 million kg CO2e.

In 2023, Alliander's total emissions were approximately 673.5 million kg CO2e, comprising roughly 144 million kg CO2e of Scope 1, about 32.6 million kg CO2e of Scope 2 (market-based), and approximately 529.5 million kg CO2e of Scope 3 emissions.

Looking back, in 2022, total emissions were approximately 289.5 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 123.2 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at around 163.9 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for that year were approximately 2.4 million kg CO2e.

Alliander has established Science Based Targets (SBTi) with a base year of 2021. The company commits to a near-term reduction of absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 66.0% by 2030. Furthermore, Alliander aims for 80.0% of its suppliers, covering purchased goods and services, capital goods, and upstream transportation and distribution, to have science-based targets by 2030. Additionally, Alliander commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions from the use of sold products, specifically covering distributed fossil fuels, by 42.0% by 2030 from the 2021 baseline. These targets are recognised as being consistent with keeping warming to 1.5°C.

In earlier years, Alliander reported a reduction in its carbon footprint from 416 to 288 kt (kilotonnes) between 2018 and 2019, representing a 31.0% decrease in both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
