Nel's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Nel ASA reported total carbon emissions of approximately 8,000,000 kg CO2e, with 1,000,000 kg CO2e attributed to Scope 2 emissions and 7,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Notably, the company reported no Scope 1 emissions. This data reflects a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, where in 2021, Scope 2 emissions were 2,000,000 kg CO2e, and no Scope 3 data was disclosed. Over the past few years, Nel has shown a trend of increasing emissions, with total emissions in 2020 at 1,402,000 kg CO2e (363,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 902,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2). In 2019, total emissions were 2,037,000 kg CO2e, with 372,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 1,665,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. Despite the increase in emissions, Nel ASA has not set specific reduction targets or commitments through initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The company operates independently without cascading emissions data from a parent organization. Overall, while Nel ASA is actively involved in the hydrogen sector, which is pivotal for decarbonisation, its current emissions profile indicates a need for enhanced climate commitments and reduction strategies to align with global climate goals.
