Enel Group's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Enel Group reported specific direct greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 0.237 kg CO2e per kWh for Scope 1 emissions related to electricity generation. This figure reflects a slight increase from 2021, where the emissions were about 0.207 kg CO2e per kWh. Looking ahead, Enel has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2040. To achieve this, Enel has established several near-term and long-term reduction targets. By 2030, the company aims to reduce Scope 1 emissions from power generation by 80% per kWh, using 2017 as the baseline year. Additionally, it plans to cut Scope 1 and 3 emissions from fuel and energy-related activities by 78% per kWh, and reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products by 55%. Enel also targets a 55% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 non-power generation emissions, as well as Scope 3 emissions covering purchased goods and services, capital goods, and other fuel and energy-related activities. For the long term, Enel commits to achieving a 100% reduction in Scope 1 emissions from power generation per kWh by 2040, alongside similar reductions in Scope 1 and 3 emissions from fuel and energy-related activities. The company also aims for a 100% reduction in absolute Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products and a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 non-power generation emissions and relevant Scope 3 emissions. These targets align with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are designed to support global efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C. Enel's proactive approach underscores its commitment to sustainability and climate action within the energy sector.
