However, for 2022, Luminus reported a total of approximately 1.38 billion kg CO2e. This total comprised approximately 1.03 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions and approximately 1.02 billion kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions. Scope 3 emissions for 2022 were approximately 4.93 billion kg CO2e, with employee commute accounting for about 850.5 million kg CO2e and waste generated in operations for approximately 246 million kg CO2e.
Looking at previous years, in 2021, Luminus reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 1.15 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 1.04 billion kg CO2e (with purchased electricity contributing about 956 million kg CO2e), and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 3.80 billion kg CO2e. In 2020, only Scope 3 emissions were reported, totalling approximately 3.92 billion kg CO2e. For 2019, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1.36 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were approximately 1.35 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were approximately 3.90 billion kg CO2e.
Luminus has set a long-term goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, utilising science-based targets. Near-term reduction initiatives have also been reported. Between 2020 and 2021, direct emissions (Scope 1) decreased by 22.6%, a reduction of 1,048 ktCO2e. Emissions from electricity consumption in Luminus-rented buildings (Scope 2) saw a reduction of 22% during the same period.
