Carbios's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Carbios reported total carbon emissions of approximately 6,392,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 100,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 168,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 6,123,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The data indicates a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, covering all three scopes. Comparatively, in 2022, Carbios's total emissions were about 4,757,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 68,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 37,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 4,757,000 kg CO2e. In 2021, the total was approximately 2,540,000 kg CO2e, comprising 40,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 120,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 2,500,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This data shows a notable increase in emissions over the years, particularly in Scope 3, which is often the largest contributor for many companies. Despite the lack of specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed, Carbios is committed to addressing its carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. Carbios operates independently, with no emissions data cascaded from a parent organisation. The company is focused on sustainability and innovation in the bioplastics sector, which positions it within a critical industry context for climate action.
