Edf's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, EDF reported total carbon emissions of approximately 46,457,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 48,208,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This reflects a slight decrease from 2021, where emissions were about 49,049,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 45,511,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data for these years. Despite the absence of specific reduction targets or commitments, EDF is actively engaged in various initiatives aimed at reducing its carbon footprint. However, no formal Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets have been established or reported. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that EDF operates independently in its reporting and climate commitments. The company continues to focus on improving its carbon intensity, with a reported carbon intensity of 0.037 kg CO2e per kWh of electricity generated, as noted in their 2023 impact report. Overall, while EDF has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of specific reduction targets highlights an area for potential growth in their climate strategy.
