Enel's reported carbon emissions

Enel's Climate Commitments and Emissions Overview Enel, a leading distribution and trade services provider for electricity headquartered in Italy, has set ambitious climate goals. The company is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by **2040**, aligning with the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C pathway. This commitment is further validated by SBTi certification for its 2030 and 2040 emission reduction targets across all scopes. **Carbon Emissions Data:** * **2025:** Enel reported total emissions of approximately **68.5 billion kg CO2e**, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 19 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of around 4.8 billion kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 40.7 billion kg CO2e. * **2024:** Total emissions were approximately **71.3 billion kg CO2e**, with Scope 1 at about 20.2 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 3.1 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at roughly 46.4 billion kg CO2e. * **2023:** Total emissions amounted to approximately **94.4 billion kg CO2e**, including Scope 1 at about 34.5 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 at roughly 3.2 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 56.7 billion kg CO2e. * **2022:** Total emissions were approximately **118.2 billion kg CO2e**, with Scope 1 at about 43.5 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 4.9 billion kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 at around 70 billion kg CO2e. * **2021:** Total emissions were approximately **128.7 billion kg CO2e**, with Scope 1 at about 51.6 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 at around 5.6 billion kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 at approximately 71.5 billion kg CO2e. * **2020:** Total emissions were approximately **118.0 billion kg CO2e**, with Scope 1 at about 45.6 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 at roughly 6 billion kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 at approximately 66.5 billion kg CO2e. * **2019:** Total emissions were approximately **151.5 billion kg CO2e**, comprising Scope 1 at about 70.4 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 7 billion kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 at around 74.1 billion kg CO2e. * **2018:** Total emissions were approximately **156.8 billion kg CO2e**, with Scope 1 at about 95.2 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 2.1 billion kg CO2e (market-based). * **2017:** Total emissions were approximately **163.8 billion kg CO2e**, with Scope 1 at about 106 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 2.2 billion kg CO2e (market-based). * **2016:** Scope 1 emissions were about **106.7 billion kg CO2e**. * **2015:** Scope 1 emissions were approximately **119.5 billion kg CO2e**. * **2014:** Total emissions were approximately **116.2 billion kg CO2e**, including Scope 1 at about 115.5 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 at around 636 million kg CO2e. * **2013:** Total emissions were approximately **116.3 billion kg CO2e**, with Scope 1 at about 115.6 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 at around 786 million kg CO2e. * **2012:** Total emissions were approximately **135.5 billion kg CO2e**, including Scope 1 at about 127.8 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 at around 370 million kg CO2e. * **2011:** Total emissions were approximately **131.2 billion kg CO2e**, with Scope 1 at about 123.5 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 at around 332 million kg CO2e. * **2010:** Total emissions were approximately **122.4 billion kg CO2e**, comprising Scope 1 at about 116.4 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 at around 245 million kg CO2e. **Key Reduction Targets and Initiatives:** * **Net-Zero by 2040:** Enel aims for full decarbonisation by 2040 across its entire value chain. * **Scope 1 GHG Emissions Intensity (Power Generation):** A target of 0 gCO2eq/kWh by **2040** represents a 100% reduction from 2017 levels. * **Scope 1 GHG Emissions Intensity (Power Generation):** Enel aims for 125 gCO2eq/kWh by **2026**, a 66% reduction compared to 2017. A further reduction to 72 gCO2eq/kWh is targeted for **2030**, representing an 80% reduction from 2017 levels. * **Scope 1 GHG Emissions (Power Generation):** A reduction of 80% per kWh by **2030** is targeted, compared to a 2017 baseline. This increases to a 100% reduction per kWh by **2040**. * **Scope 3 GHG Emissions:** Enel is committed to reducing Scope 3 emissions by 55% by **2030** for purchased goods and services, capital goods, and remaining fuel and energy-related activities. By **2040**, the goal is a 90% reduction for these categories and upstream transportation and distribution, and a 100% reduction for the use of sold products. * **Absolute Scope 1 and 2 Emissions:** A 55% reduction is targeted by **2030** for non-power generation emissions. By **2040**, this aims for a 90% reduction. * **Historical Targets:** Enel had previously aimed for a 25% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by **2020** compared to a 2007 baseline. There was also a target to reduce total specific CO2 emissions by 15% compared to 2007 by **2020**. Enel's climate strategy is focused on transforming its operations and value chain to achieve ambitious decarbonisation goals.
