Edf's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, EDF reported total carbon emissions of approximately 296.2 million kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 44.5 million kg CO2e, primarily from stationary combustion and mobile sources, and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 8.2 million kg CO2e from purchased electricity. The majority of their emissions, approximately 243.5 million kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which encompasses a range of activities including capital goods and business travel. Comparatively, in 2023, EDF's total emissions were about 381.8 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 34.5 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 11.8 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching approximately 335.4 million kg CO2e. This indicates a reduction in total emissions from 2023 to 2024. Despite these figures, EDF has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or SBTi commitments. The company operates independently without cascading emissions data from a parent organisation, ensuring that their reported figures reflect their own operational impact. Overall, EDF's emissions profile highlights the significant role of Scope 3 emissions in their carbon footprint, underscoring the need for comprehensive strategies to address indirect emissions across their value chain.
