In 2023, Pohjolan Voima Oyj reported specific carbon dioxide emissions from electricity production at approximately 0.0051 kg CO2e per kWh. This figure reflects their ongoing commitment to reducing carbon emissions in the energy sector. The company has not disclosed any Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data, nor have they set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. Looking back at previous years, the emissions intensity for 2022 was about 0.039 kg CO2e per MWh, while in 2021, it was approximately 0.0339 kg CO2e per kWh. In 2020, the emissions intensity was around 0.0311 kg CO2e per kWh, and in 2019, it was about 0.0466 kg CO2e per kWh. These figures indicate a general trend towards lower emissions intensity over the years, although specific reduction targets have not been established. Pohjolan Voima Oyj does not currently participate in any recognised climate initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) that would provide further context for their climate commitments. The absence of cascaded emissions data suggests that their reporting is independent and not influenced by a parent or related organisation. Overall, while Pohjolan Voima Oyj has demonstrated a commitment to reducing emissions through lower carbon intensity in electricity production, further transparency regarding their overall emissions and specific reduction targets would enhance their climate accountability.
