Bristol Water's reported carbon emissions

Bristol Water's total carbon emissions for the reporting year 2024 were approximately 83,196,208 kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 20,870,003 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 72,088 kg CO2e (market-based). Scope 3 emissions for 2024 were reported at approximately 62,254,117 kg CO2e. In the 2022 reporting year, Bristol Water reported total emissions of approximately 27,159,234 kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions for 2022 totalled around 4,159,820 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity at approximately 14,257,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for business travel in 2022 were minimal, at 50 kg CO2e. While specific reduction targets are not detailed in the provided information, Bristol Water's climate commitments are cascaded from its ultimate parent, Pennon Group Plc. Pennon Group Plc is also the source for Bristol Water's reporting on Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) reduction targets and RE100 initiatives. Bristol Water operates in the "Other waste for treatment: waste water treatment" industry and has disclosed emissions data for scopes 1, 2, and 3. Production emission factors are available, including "Emissions per Ml of sewage treated" for 2024, which was 339,425 kg CO2e/m3, and "Operational GHG emissions per Ml of treated water" for 2022, measuring 182,627 kg CO2e/m3. Other operational metrics, such as emissions per capita and per £m appointed turnover, were also reported for previous years. A notable missing data point for both 2022 and 2024 is Scope 3 emissions related to purchased goods and services.
