Emissions in 2020 were approximately 40 billion kg CO2e (38.2 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 1.8 billion kg CO2e for Scope 2). Prior to that, in 2019, Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalled approximately 40.4 billion kg CO2e (37.5 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2.9 billion kg CO2e for Scope 2). In 2018, Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 36.04 billion kg CO2e (34.7 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 1.34 billion kg CO2e for Scope 2). For 2017, Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 34.508 billion kg CO2e (33.28 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 1.22 billion kg CO2e for Scope 2). In 2016, Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 34.65 billion kg CO2e (33.46 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 1.19 billion kg CO2e for Scope 2). Emissions in 2015 were approximately 34.96 billion kg CO2e (34.02 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 0.94 billion kg CO2e for Scope 2).
