Kyuden's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Kyuden reported total carbon emissions of approximately 34,610,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 17,800,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 60,000 kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 16,810,000,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals significant contributions from fuel and energy-related activities (about 12,710,000,000 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 380,000,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2022, Kyuden's total emissions were about 46,290,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 23,690,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions reaching around 22,600,000,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a notable reduction in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. 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 disclosed by Kyuden, nor are there any initiatives reported under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate frameworks. Overall, while Kyuden has made strides in reducing its emissions, the absence of formal reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced commitment to climate action in alignment with global sustainability goals.
