JERA Co., Inc.

JERA Co., Inc., a Japanese electricity transmission services provider, reported total global emissions of approximately 176.8 billion kg CO2e in 2024. This total includes Scope 1 emissions of about 247 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of approximately 177 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 32.4 billion kg CO2e. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions in 2024 included fuel and energy-related activities (approximately 20.4 billion kg CO2e) and use of sold products (about 10.6 billion kg CO2e).

Looking back, in 2023, JERA's reported Scope 1 emissions were approximately 275 million kg CO2e, with Scope 2 market-based emissions at around 73 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling about 33.3 billion kg CO2e. In 2022, Scope 1 emissions were roughly 204 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions were approximately 60 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reached about 33.5 billion kg CO2e. For 2021, the company's Scope 1 emissions stood at approximately 245 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions were around 40 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were about 34 billion kg CO2e. In 2020, JERA reported Scope 1 emissions of roughly 348 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of approximately 79 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 31.9 billion kg CO2e.

While a total calculated sum of emissions is not available for earlier years, JERA reported Scope 1 stationary combustion emissions of approximately 161.1 billion kg CO2e in 2019, about 166.3 billion kg CO2e in 2018, and around 168.8 billion kg CO2e in 2017. In 2013, the company reported Scope 3 business travel emissions of approximately 180 billion kg CO2e.

JERA Co., Inc. has committed to several climate targets. The company aims to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions from both domestic and overseas businesses by 2050, covering all scopes. Furthermore, JERA has an absolute Scope 1 target to reduce domestic business CO2 emissions by more than 60% by 2035, relative to the 2013 baseline. A similar absolute Scope 2 target aims for a greater than 60% reduction in domestic CO2 emissions by 2035, also against a 2013 baseline. For its domestic businesses, JERA also plans to reduce the carbon emission intensity of thermal power plants by 20% by 2030, based on the government's long-term energy supply-demand outlook for that year.
