Canadian Utilities's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Canadian Utilities reported total carbon emissions of approximately 21,538,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 321,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 178,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 21,538,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This represents a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions compared to 2022, where they were about 321,000,000 kg CO2e, and a reduction in Scope 2 emissions from 224,000,000 kg CO2e. Over the past five years, Canadian Utilities has shown a trend of decreasing Scope 1 emissions from about 10,796,000,000 kg CO2e in 2018 to 321,000,000 kg CO2e in 2023. However, Scope 3 emissions have remained significantly high, with figures around 22,735,000,000 kg CO2e in 2022 and 21,538,000,000 kg CO2e in 2023. Despite these figures, Canadian Utilities has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company continues to focus on its operational emissions while navigating the complexities of its extensive Scope 3 emissions, which primarily arise from the use of sold products and fuel and energy-related activities. Overall, Canadian Utilities is actively monitoring its carbon footprint and making incremental progress in reducing its emissions, particularly in Scope 1 and 2 categories, while facing challenges in addressing its Scope 3 emissions.
