Luminus

Luminus, an Electricity nec company headquartered in Belgium, has outlined its carbon emissions and climate commitments.

In 2022, Luminus reported total emissions of approximately 7.02 billion kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of approximately 1.03 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of about 1.02 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 4.93 billion kg CO2e. For context, in 2021, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1.15 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were about 1.04 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were around 3.80 billion kg CO2e. In 2020, Luminus reported Scope 3 emissions of approximately 3.92 billion kg CO2e, while in 2019, Scope 1 emissions were about 1.36 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were approximately 1.35 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were around 3.90 billion kg CO2e.

Luminus has demonstrated progress in emissions reduction. Between 2020 and 2021, the company achieved a 22.6% reduction in Scope 1 emissions, equating to a decrease from approximately 1.36 billion kg CO2e to 1.05 billion kg CO2e. Over the same period, Scope 2 emissions from electricity consumption in Luminus-leased buildings decreased by 22%. Furthermore, fleet emissions (part of Scope 3) were reduced by 16% between 2020 and 2021.

Luminus is committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, utilising science-based targets. Looking ahead, the company expects its future Seraing power plant to have an intensity of approximately 320 kg CO2 per MWh produced, representing a 20% reduction in carbon intensity compared to the current plant.

Luminus's climate initiative and reduction target data are cascaded from its parent company, Electricité de France S.A.
