Nel's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Nel ASA reported total carbon emissions of approximately 8,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 1,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 and 7,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Notably, the company had no reported Scope 1 emissions. This represents a significant increase in emissions compared to 2021, where Scope 2 emissions were 2,000,000 kg CO2e, with no Scope 3 data disclosed for that year. Over the past few years, Nel ASA has shown a trend in its emissions data. In 2020, the company reported 1,265,000 kg CO2e from both Scope 1 (363,000 kg CO2e) and Scope 2 (902,000 kg CO2e). In 2019, emissions were slightly higher at 1,700,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 365,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 1,665,000 kg CO2e. The data indicates a fluctuating pattern in emissions, particularly in Scope 2, which is critical for understanding the company's operational impact. Despite these emissions figures, Nel ASA has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets or documented climate pledges suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Overall, while Nel ASA's emissions data reflects its operational footprint, the lack of clear reduction commitments highlights an area for potential growth in its sustainability efforts.
