Enerplus's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Enerplus reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,000,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 500,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 2,000,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a significant commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting, covering all three scopes of greenhouse gas emissions. Over the years, Enerplus has demonstrated fluctuations in emissions intensity, with a combined intensity of about 0.023 kg CO2e per barrel of oil equivalent (BOE) in 2023. The company has also reported a combined intensity of approximately 0.0215 kg CO2e/BOE in 2022, indicating a focus on improving efficiency in their operations. Despite the detailed emissions data, Enerplus has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, nor have they aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of formal reduction targets suggests that while Enerplus is actively monitoring and reporting its emissions, it may not yet have established a comprehensive strategy for reducing its carbon footprint in line with global climate goals. Overall, Enerplus's emissions data highlights the company's ongoing efforts to track its environmental impact, but further commitments to reduction targets would enhance its climate strategy.
