Erg's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, ERG S.p.A. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 46,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 940,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 680,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and about 45,900,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data reflects a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, particularly from Scope 3, which indicates a growing impact from upstream activities. ERG has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2040, using 2020 as the baseline year. The company has established near-term targets to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 72% per MWh by 2027 and to increase its sourcing of renewable electricity from 94% in 2020 to 100% by 2030. Additionally, ERG plans to reduce Scope 1 and 3 emissions from fuel and energy-related activities by 70.4% per MWh by 2027. Long-term goals include a 94.8% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions from power generation by 2040 and a 95.3% reduction in Scope 1 and 3 emissions related to sold electricity within the same timeframe. Furthermore, ERG aims to cut all other Scope 3 emissions by 97% per MWhe by 2040. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and reflect ERG's commitment to maintaining emissions reductions consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. The emissions data and climate commitments are cascaded from ERG S.p.A., the parent company, which oversees these initiatives.
