Enbw

EnBW, a German electricity provider, reported total emissions of approximately 44.02 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This includes about 11.7 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 700 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions (market-based: 669 million kg CO2e; location-based: 1.3 billion kg CO2e), and approximately 31.65 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions were use of sold products (24.3 billion kg CO2e), purchased goods and services (4.23 billion kg CO2e), and fuel and energy-related activities (2.06 billion kg CO2e).

Looking back, EnBW's total emissions were approximately 39.56 billion kg CO2e in 2024. In 2023, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of 10.9 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of 800 million kg CO2e, with Scope 3 data not disclosed for that year. In 2018, the reference year for many of its targets, EnBW's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 166 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were 10 billion kg CO2e.

EnBW has set several climate commitments. The company aims for net-zero emissions for Scope 1 and 2 by 2040 and across the entire value chain (Scope 3) by 2050 at the latest. EnBW is committed to reducing its Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 83% by 2035 from a 2018 base year. This is equivalent to an 87.4% reduction per MWh. Intermediate targets include a 50% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2027 and a 70% reduction by 2030, both against a 2018 baseline. For Scope 3 emissions, EnBW aims for a 43% absolute reduction by 2035 from a 2018 base year, specifically for use of sold products and corresponding fuel and energy related activities. These targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C.
