Firstenergy's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, FirstEnergy reported total carbon emissions of approximately 150,888,540,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 sources, which include mobile combustion, fugitive emissions, and stationary combustion. The company also recorded Scope 2 emissions of about 1,381,759,000 kg CO2e. Notably, their Scope 3 emissions were significantly higher, reaching approximately 220,777,054,000 kg CO2e, primarily from fuel and energy-related activities. In 2022, FirstEnergy's emissions were slightly lower, with Scope 1 emissions at about 164,012,420,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 886,450,000 kg CO2e. Their Scope 3 emissions for that year were around 318,045,390,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, indicating a lack of formal commitments to reduce emissions through frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This absence of defined climate pledges suggests that FirstEnergy may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Overall, FirstEnergy's emissions data highlights the significant environmental impact of their operations, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which are critical for understanding their overall carbon footprint.
