This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 17.8 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 60,000 kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions of around 16.8 billion kg CO2e.

Kyuden's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Kyushu Electric Power Company, Incorporated, reflecting a corporate family relationship. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented for Kyuden, indicating a potential area for future commitment and improvement in their climate strategy. Overall, while Kyuden has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of defined reduction initiatives suggests that further action may be necessary to align with industry standards and expectations for climate responsibility.
