Azure Power

In 2021, Azure Power reported total carbon emissions of approximately 14.4 million tonnes CO2e. This figure includes 1.5 million tonnes CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 182,000 tonnes CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity. The majority of their emissions, about 12.7 million tonnes CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which encompasses all other indirect emissions in the value chain, including upstream transportation and distribution. In 2019, Azure Power's emissions were recorded at 394,000 tonnes CO2e for Scope 1 and 2 combined, with a significant contribution from Scope 3 emissions, which totalled approximately 414.9 billion tonnes CO2e. This indicates a substantial increase in reported emissions over the two years, particularly in Scope 3 categories. While specific reduction targets were not detailed, Azure Power has engaged in various climate initiatives and has been assessed by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), receiving scores ranging from D to C in recent years. These scores reflect their commitment to transparency and climate action, although specific reduction targets or initiatives were not provided in the available data. Overall, Azure Power's emissions profile highlights the challenges of managing extensive Scope 3 emissions, while their participation in CDP assessments indicates a commitment to improving their climate impact and reporting practices.
