The total emissions for this year were approximately 4,326,369,000 kg CO2e. This reporting year also noted Scope 1 CO2e Emission Intensity (Metric Tons/Net MWh) associated with electric power deliveries for owned power generation as approximately 374.0. Looking at prior years, Avista's total emissions were approximately 3,579,190,000 kg CO2e in 2022, with Scope 1 emissions of about 2,458,675,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions of about 1,120,515,000 kg CO2e. In 2021, total emissions were approximately 3,231,615,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1: about 2,204,752,000 kg CO2e; Scope 3: about 1,026,863,000 kg CO2e). For 2020, total emissions were approximately 3,146,411,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1: about 1,968,205,000 kg CO2e; Scope 3: about 1,178,206,000 kg CO2e). In 2019, total emissions were approximately 3,602,443,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1: about 2,371,368,000 kg CO2e; Scope 3: about 1,231,075,000 kg CO2e). In 2018, total emissions were approximately 3,338,875,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1: about 2,072,194,000 kg CO2e; Scope 3: about 1,266,681,000 kg CO2e). For 2017, total emissions were approximately 3,257,085,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1: about 2,093,789,000 kg CO2e; Scope 3: about 1,163,296,000 kg CO2e). In 2005, total emissions were approximately 4,306,213,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1: about 2,371,430,000 kg CO2e; Scope 3: about 1,934,783,000 kg CO2e). Avista's emission reporting often excludes Scope 2 data for certain years, and there is a noted data gap for "scope_3/fuel_and_energy_related_activities" across multiple reporting years. Regarding reduction initiatives, the provided information suggests that for the US to remain on track for its post-2025 goals, power emissions need to fall by 11% each year, a benchmark observed from 2023 to 2025. This is noted in relation to near-term reduction targets for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Avista is headquartered in the US.
