Kyuden's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Kyuden reported total carbon emissions of approximately 34,610,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 17,800,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 60,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and 16,810,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Notably, the company has seen a reduction in total emissions from 46,290,000,000 kg CO2e in 2022, indicating a significant decrease in their carbon footprint. Kyuden's emissions profile shows a consistent disclosure across all three scopes, with Scope 3 emissions being the largest contributor. In 2022, Scope 3 emissions accounted for approximately 22,600,000,000 kg CO2e, highlighting the importance of addressing upstream and downstream activities in their climate strategy. Despite these figures, Kyuden has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may reflect a broader industry context where many companies are still developing comprehensive strategies to meet climate goals. Overall, while Kyuden has made progress in reducing its emissions, the absence of clear reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with global sustainability efforts.
