EVA Air's Climate Commitments and Emissions Overview

EVA Air, headquartered in Taiwan and operating in air transport services, has outlined its commitment to reducing its environmental impact. The company is actively engaged in climate action, with a long-term vision aligned with global efforts to combat climate change.

Carbon Emissions Data:

• 2024: EVA Air reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 7.09 billion kg CO2e (7,089,281,000 kg CO2e). This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions amounting to approximately 7.08 billion kg CO2e (7,076,258,743 kg CO2e), and Scope 2 emissions totalling approximately 13.4 million kg CO2e (13,418,534 kg CO2e). Scope 3 emissions were also reported, though a total sum was not explicitly calculated for this year.
• 2023: Total emissions for 2023 were approximately 6.52 billion kg CO2e (6,515,729,000 kg CO2e), with Scope 1 emissions around 6.50 billion kg CO2e (6,501,992,226 kg CO2e) and Scope 2 emissions approximately 13.7 million kg CO2e (13,737,176 kg CO2e). Scope 3 emissions were reported, with specific categories like purchased goods and services and fuel and energy-related activities showing significant figures.
• 2022: Total emissions were approximately 4.50 billion kg CO2e (4,502,195,000 kg CO2e), with Scope 1 emissions around 4.49 billion kg CO2e (4,489,866,376 kg CO2e) and Scope 2 emissions approximately 12.3 million kg CO2e (12,328,674 kg CO2e). Some Scope 3 categories, such as purchased goods and services and fuel and energy-related activities, were noted as missing data points.
• 2021: EVA Air reported total emissions of approximately 4.14 billion kg CO2e (4,127,118,706 kg CO2e) for Scope 1 and approximately 12.2 million kg CO2e (12,228,009 kg CO2e) for Scope 2. Similar to 2022, specific Scope 3 categories were missing.
• 2020: Scope 1 emissions were approximately 4.31 billion kg CO2e (4,310,983,107 kg CO2e), and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 12.8 million kg CO2e (12,754,910 kg CO2e). Certain Scope 3 categories were also not fully reported.
• 2019: Total emissions were reported at approximately 6.13 billion kg CO2e (6,130,580,690 kg CO2e), with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 6.12 billion kg CO2e (6,116,402,282 kg CO2e) and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 14.2 million kg CO2e (14,178,408 kg CO2e). Scope 3 data was not disclosed for this year.
• 2018-2015: For these years, total emissions ranged from approximately 5.51 billion kg CO2e (5,508,102,000 kg CO2e) in 2015 to approximately 6.32 billion kg CO2e (6,315,955,000 kg CO2e) in 2017. Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions were reported, but Scope 3 data was not disclosed. Production emission factors for these years are available, related to aircraft GHG emission intensity and fuel efficiency.

Climate Reduction Targets and Initiatives:

EVA Air has established several reduction targets and is committed to a pathway towards decarbonisation:

• Long-Term Goal (by 2050): EVA Air aims to reduce its carbon emissions by 50% by 2050, using 2005 as a baseline year. This aligns with a national long-term GHG reduction target.
• Near-Term Goals:
  • A 20% reduction target for group carbon emissions compared to the 2022 baseline year by 2027, encompassing both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
  • A target for approximately a 1.6% reduction in Scope 1 emissions by 2025, relative to 2019 levels.
  • A specific target for Scope 2 emissions of 13,065 tonnes CO2e by 2025, representing a 2% decrease from 2018 levels.
• Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi): EVA Air has committed to SBTi goals, aiming for a 40% reduction in well-to-wake Scope 1 and Scope 3 jet fuel GHG emissions per revenue tonne kilometre (RTK) by 2031, based on a 2019 baseline. This target is consistent with the 1.5°C warming limit. The company also has a commitment to reduce its overall GHG emissions in line with 1.5°C pathways. While a net-zero commitment was noted, some associated data indicates an expired commitment.

EVA Air's reporting indicates a comprehensive approach to climate action, with a clear focus on reducing its carbon footprint across various emission scopes.
