Kalundborg Refinery's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Kalundborg Refinery reported total carbon emissions of approximately 532,667,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 358,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 472,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This marks a slight increase in Scope 1 emissions compared to 2022, which recorded about 514,010,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 324,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 517,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. The refinery has demonstrated a commitment to transparency by disclosing emissions across all three scopes. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their sustainability reports. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while Kalundborg Refinery is actively monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have formalised strategies for significant reductions. Overall, Kalundborg Refinery's emissions data reflects ongoing operational challenges in reducing carbon footprints, particularly in Scope 1 emissions, which are typically associated with direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. The refinery's climate commitments and future strategies will be crucial in addressing these emissions and aligning with industry standards for sustainability.
