Evergy's reported carbon emissions

Evergy, headquartered in the US and operating in the Electricity nec industry, has set ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2045. This target encompasses all scopes of emissions, with specific mention of achieving net-zero for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by the same year. For the reporting year 2024, Evergy reported total emissions of approximately 20.64 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1, about 2.94 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and roughly 7.51 million kg CO2e for Scope 3. Reviewing previous years, Evergy's Scope 1 emissions for 2023 were approximately 23.43 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 2 (market-based) at about 3.41 million kg CO2e and Scope 3 at approximately 8.66 million kg CO2e. In 2022, Scope 1 emissions stood at approximately 27.59 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at about 3.35 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 9.35 million kg CO2e. Prior to 2022, the data indicates a higher Scope 1 emissions profile. In 2021, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 26.54 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 2 (market-based) at about 2.33 million kg CO2e and Scope 3 at approximately 7.77 million kg CO2e. In 2020, reported Scope 1 emissions were approximately 23.95 billion kg CO2e. For 2019, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 23.43 billion kg CO2e, and in 2018, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 29.72 billion kg CO2e. Scope 2 and Scope 3 data were not fully disclosed for these earlier years. Evergy's intensity data shows that in 2024, their Total Owned Generation CO2e Emissions Intensity was approximately 459.3 kg CO2e per MWh. This metric was 512.8 kg CO2e/MWh in 2023 and 525.6 kg CO2e/MWh in 2022. In 2020, the gross global combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions per megawatt hour generated was approximately 493.0 kg CO2e/MWh.
