Enel

Enel, a distribution and trade services of electricity company headquartered in Italy, has reported substantial carbon emissions. In 2025, the company recorded approximately 68.5 billion kg CO2e in total emissions. This comprised about 19 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1, approximately 2.8 billion kg CO2e for Scope 2 (location-based), and around 40.7 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3. In the preceding year, 2024, total emissions were approximately 71.5 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 about 46.4 billion kg CO2e.

The company has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2040. This goal aligns with limiting global temperature increases to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Enel is working towards achieving full decarbonisation by 2050, with specific targets for emission reductions across all scopes. For instance, they aim to reduce Scope 1 GHG emissions intensity from power generation by 100% per kWh by 2040, compared to 2017 levels.

Enel's decarbonisation strategy includes near-term targets such as reducing Scope 1 GHG emissions by 80% per kWh by 2030, relative to a 2017 baseline. They also aim to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90% by 2040, and absolute Scope 3 emissions from capital goods, fuel and energy-related activities, and upstream transportation and distribution by the same percentage. Furthermore, they are committed to reducing Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products by 100% by 2040. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
