Emera's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Emera reported total carbon emissions of approximately 13,557,728,000 kg CO2e, comprising 13,336,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 8,301,206,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting, although no specific reduction targets or initiatives have been disclosed. In the previous year, 2022, Emera's emissions were about 14,925,186,000 kg CO2e, with 14,676,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 8,810,772,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. The company has shown a gradual decrease in emissions intensity, with a reported GHG intensity ratio of 460.0 kg CO2e per MWh of electricity sold. Emera's emissions data from earlier years indicates a trend of decreasing Scope 1 and 2 emissions, with a notable reduction from approximately 21,225,000,000 kg CO2e in 2017 to about 15,349,000,000 kg CO2e in 2020. However, the absence of specific reduction targets or commitments suggests that while the company is actively monitoring its emissions, it has not yet established formalised goals for future reductions. Overall, Emera's emissions profile highlights its ongoing efforts to manage carbon output, but the lack of defined reduction initiatives may limit its ability to meet future climate commitments effectively.
