The Scope 3 emissions have consistently been the largest contributor, with figures reaching about 9,486,510,000 kg CO2e in 2021 and 9,307,557,000 kg CO2e in 2022. Despite these emissions figures, FortisAlberta has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. As a utility provider, FortisAlberta's emissions primarily stem from electricity generation and distribution, highlighting the importance of transitioning to more sustainable energy sources to mitigate climate impact.
