Emirates Nuclear Energy

Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC), based in the UAE, is a key player in the electricity by nuclear industry, contributing significantly to the region's clean energy landscape. The company has made substantial commitments to climate action, aiming to align with the UAE's Net Zero by 2050 strategic initiative.

For the reporting year 2023, ENEC reported total emissions of approximately 89,905,000 kg CO2e. This comprised Scope 1 emissions of about 44,010,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 24,652,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for the same year totalled around 22,354,000 kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services accounting for approximately 122,262,000 kg CO2e within this scope.

In 2022, total emissions were approximately 22,385,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 15,678,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 6,707,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 12,651,000 kg CO2e. Purchased goods and services within Scope 3 for 2022 were approximately 84,230,000 kg CO2e.

For 2021, total emissions stood at approximately 66,432,000 kg CO2e, composed of Scope 1 emissions of around 37,587,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 19,356,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of about 9,468,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3's purchased goods and services were approximately 66,411,000 kg CO2e.

The company's climate commitment includes becoming the largest source of dispatchable clean electricity in the MENA region, a crucial step towards achieving the UAE's Net Zero by 2050 strategy. While specific annual reduction targets are not detailed here, the overarching goal of contributing to national net-zero ambitions highlights ENEC's dedication to decarbonisation through its nuclear energy operations.

Data for emissions for the year 2024 are reported as 32,865,000,000 kg CO2e. Emission data for prior years such as 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, and 2014 are also available, showing varying levels of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, as well as specific sub-categories like mobile combustion and purchased goods and services.

ENEC's data is reported at a cascade level of 1, indicating it is a current subsidiary. The initiative and performance data are sourced directly from Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation itself.
