FortisBC's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, FortisBC reported total carbon emissions of approximately 239,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 7,200,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 11,610,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This indicates a significant reliance on indirect emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which encompasses emissions from the supply chain and product use. Over the years, FortisBC has seen fluctuations in its emissions. For instance, in 2021, the company emitted about 149,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1, 6,100,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2, and 11,700,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 3. The data shows a notable increase in Scope 1 emissions from 2021 to 2022, rising from 149,000,000 kg CO2e to 239,000,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, there are currently no specified reduction targets or initiatives documented in their climate commitments. This lack of formal reduction targets suggests that while FortisBC is aware of its emissions profile, it may not have publicly committed to specific goals for reducing its carbon footprint. Overall, FortisBC's emissions data highlights the importance of addressing both direct and indirect emissions as part of a comprehensive climate strategy.
