Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 899,530 kg CO2e, all of which fall under Scope 2 emissions, indicating indirect emissions from purchased electricity. In the previous year, 2023, IREDA's Scope 2 emissions were about 749,590 kg CO2e, reflecting a significant increase in emissions year-on-year. IREDA has not disclosed any Scope 1 emissions, which remain at 0 kg CO2e for both years. The agency has not set any specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it inherit emissions data from a parent organisation. This lack of formal commitments suggests that while IREDA is actively involved in renewable energy development, it has yet to establish a structured approach to reducing its own carbon footprint. The agency's emissions intensity per rupee of turnover for 2024 is approximately 2.2625e-13 kg CO2e/INR, compared to 2.6875e-13 kg CO2e/INR in 2023, indicating a slight improvement in efficiency relative to revenue. However, without concrete reduction initiatives or targets, the long-term impact of these emissions remains uncertain.
