Metabolic Explorer's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, Metabolic Explorer, headquartered in France, reported no specific carbon emissions data, indicating a lack of disclosed Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures. However, the company is actively pursuing significant climate commitments aimed at reducing its carbon footprint. Metabolic Explorer has initiated two major projects to transform steam production at its sites in Amiens and Carling. These projects aim to replace natural gas with biomass boilers using recovered wood, which is expected to reduce the carbon footprint of steam used at the Amiens site by approximately 50% by 2025. Similarly, the Carling site is projected to achieve a 50% reduction in carbon emissions from steam by 2024 through the same biomass initiative. These initiatives reflect Metabolic Explorer's commitment to achieving net-zero emissions in the near term, particularly focusing on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. The company is on track to implement these changes, demonstrating a proactive approach to sustainability and climate responsibility.
