In 2023, Chesapeake Utilities reported total carbon emissions of approximately 210,074,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes about 192,505,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and about 17,569,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, which are indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity. The combined total for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions stands at approximately 210,074,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 234,182,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 215,226,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 18,956,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a reduction of around 24,108,000 kg CO2e from 2022 to 2023. Chesapeake Utilities has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of such commitments suggests a need for further development in their climate strategy. The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that these figures are independently reported. Overall, Chesapeake Utilities is actively monitoring its carbon emissions, with a notable decrease in total emissions from the previous year, but it currently lacks formalised reduction targets or commitments to further enhance its climate action efforts.
