IEA-PVPS's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, IEA-PVPS reported total carbon emissions of approximately 0.11 kg CO2e per kWh, with specific emissions broken down into Scope 1 (0.05 kg CO2e), Scope 2 (0.06 kg CO2e), and Scope 3 (0.05 kg CO2e, including 0.04 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services). This data indicates a commitment to transparency in emissions reporting across various scopes. While there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from IEA-PVPS, the organisation is actively involved in promoting sustainable practices within the photovoltaic sector. The emissions data from previous years shows a trend of decreasing emissions per kWh, with figures dropping from 0.121 kg CO2e in 1996 to 0.043 kg CO2e in 2020, reflecting an ongoing commitment to reducing the carbon footprint associated with solar energy production. IEA-PVPS's focus on improving the carbon footprint of floating photovoltaic systems further underscores its dedication to addressing climate change and promoting renewable energy solutions.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
IEA-PVPS is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
