Burckhardt Compression's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Burckhardt Compression reported total carbon emissions of approximately 19,037,000 kg CO2e, comprising 4,917,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 14,120,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 3,931,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a continued commitment to monitoring and managing their carbon footprint across all scopes of emissions. Over the past few years, the company has shown fluctuations in emissions. In 2022, total emissions were about 20,070,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 4,674,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 15,396,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at a significant 73,500,000 kg CO2e. The increase in Scope 3 emissions in 2022 indicates a need for further focus on upstream and downstream activities. Burckhardt Compression has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. However, the company continues to report on its emissions and strives to improve its greenhouse gas emission intensity, which was approximately 2.1 kg CO2e per working hour in 2023. Overall, while Burckhardt Compression is actively tracking its emissions, the absence of formal reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
