E-ON's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, E-ON reported total carbon emissions of approximately 436,794,000 kg CO2e in Great Britain. This figure includes 295,726,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 4,678,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions, which encompass all other indirect emissions, amounted to 136,390,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2019, E-ON's total emissions in Great Britain were about 426,779,000 kg CO2e, with similar distributions across the scopes: 327,250,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 14,358,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 85,171,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. Despite the slight increase in total emissions from 2019 to 2023, E-ON has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context.
