Evn

Evn, an electricity provider headquartered in Austria (AT), has disclosed its carbon emissions and climate commitments.

Carbon Emissions:

For the reporting year 2025, Evn reported a total of approximately 8.01 billion kg CO2e. This breakdown includes:

• Scope 1: Approximately 611.67 million kg CO2e
• Scope 2 (market-based): Approximately 230.39 million kg CO2e
• Scope 3: Approximately 6.56 billion kg CO2e, with significant contributions from "fuel and energy-related activities" (approximately 5.23 billion kg CO2e) and "investments" (approximately 1.33 billion kg CO2e).

In the reporting year 2024, Evn's total emissions were approximately 8.28 billion kg CO2e. This comprised:

• Scope 1: Approximately 551.99 million kg CO2e
• Scope 2 (market-based): Approximately 181.11 million kg CO2e
• Scope 3: Approximately 6.90 billion kg CO2e, with "fuel and energy-related activities" accounting for approximately 4.99 billion kg CO2e and "investments" for approximately 1.91 billion kg CO2e.

For the reporting year 2023, Evn's total emissions were approximately 7.96 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 792.95 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based): 914.18 million kg CO2e, Scope 3: 6.17 billion kg CO2e).

In the reporting year 2022, Evn reported total emissions of approximately 9.45 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 895.60 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based): 1.06 billion kg CO2e, Scope 3: 7.51 billion kg CO2e).

For the reporting year 2021, Evn's total emissions were approximately 11.82 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 1.88 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based): 1.49 billion kg CO2e, Scope 3: 8.46 billion kg CO2e).

In the reporting year 2020, Evn reported total emissions of approximately 11.43 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 1.57 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based): 1.42 billion kg CO2e, Scope 3: 8.44 billion kg CO2e).

Climate Commitments and Reduction Initiatives:

Evn AG has set Science Based Targets (SBTi) aligned with keeping warming to Well-below 2°C, and in some cases, 1.5°C. These targets are cascaded from the ultimate parent organisation.

Key SBTi commitments include:

• A commitment to reduce Scope 1 GHG emissions from electricity and CHP-related heat generation by 66% per MWh by FY2034 from a FY2019 base year.
• A commitment to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 3 GHG emissions from all sold electricity and CHP-related heat by 65.1% per MWh over the same timeframe.
• A commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from all other sources by 37.5% by FY2034 from a FY2019 base year.
• A commitment to reduce absolute Scope 3 use of sold products GHG emissions by 37.5% over the same timeframe.
• A commitment to reduce absolute Scope 3 use of distributed but not sold gas GHG emissions by 37.5% over the same timeframe.
• Near-term targets include a commitment to reduce Scope 1 GHG emissions from electricity and CHP heat generation by 77.98% per MWh by FY2031 from a FY2022 base year, and to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 3 GHG emissions from all sold electricity and CHP heat generation by 74% per MWh within the same timeframe. Additionally, they commit to reduce all other absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 46.2% and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products for sold and distributed fossil fuels by 46.2% within the same timeframe.

Evn also has a documented reduction target for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions:

• A commitment to reduce absolute CO2e emissions from heat generation and thermal waste utilisation (Scope 1) and from network losses and own consumption (Scope 2) by 37.5% between 2021 and 2031.
