Energy Queensland's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Energy Queensland reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,810,681,000 kg CO2e, encompassing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. This figure reflects a slight increase from the previous year's emissions of about 1,768,438,000 kg CO2e in 2022. The company is committed to significant climate action, as outlined in the Clean Economy Jobs Act 2024 (Qld), which mandates a long-term goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050. Energy Queensland has set specific reduction targets, aiming for a 30% reduction in emissions below 2005 levels by 2030 and a more ambitious 75% reduction by 2035. These targets are part of a broader legislative framework designed to enhance Queensland's sustainability efforts. The company is currently on track to meet its near-term target, although it faces challenges in the longer-term goal. As of now, there is no data indicating emissions from Scope 3, and the emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization. Energy Queensland's initiatives reflect a strong commitment to addressing climate change and reducing its carbon footprint in alignment with regional and global sustainability goals.
