Eversource's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Eversource reported total carbon emissions of approximately 15,812,200 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 400,798,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. The combined total for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions reached approximately 558,920,000 kg CO2e. Notably, Scope 3 emissions were significantly higher, with the use of sold products contributing about 9,050,700,000 kg CO2e, alongside other categories such as purchased goods and services (approximately 1,248,933,000 kg CO2e) and capital goods (about 129,087,000 kg CO2e). Eversource's emissions data shows a reduction trend from previous years. For instance, in 2022, Scope 1 emissions were about 171,199,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 444,717,000 kg CO2e, leading to a total of around 615,916,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2 combined. This indicates a decrease in emissions from 2022 to 2023. Despite these figures, Eversource has faced challenges in establishing long-term carbon reduction targets. Their near-term target status has been marked as "Committed," but they have also had commitments removed, indicating a lack of consistent long-term strategies. As of the latest updates, Eversource has not committed to a net-zero target. Eversource's emissions data is sourced directly from Eversource Energy, with no cascading from a parent or related organization. The company operates within the electric utilities sector in the United States, focusing on both fossil and alternative energy sources.
