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, there were no reported emissions from Scope 1. This represents a significant increase in emissions compared to 2021, where Scope 2 emissions were 2,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions data was not disclosed. Over the past few years, Nel has shown a trend in its emissions reporting. 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 2,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 365,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 1,665,000 kg CO2e. The data indicates that while Scope 1 emissions have remained negligible, Scope 2 emissions have fluctuated significantly. Despite these emissions figures, 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 absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies within the organisation. Overall, Nel ASA's emissions profile highlights the importance of addressing Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions, particularly as the company continues to grow in the hydrogen production sector.
