RTE's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, RTE reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,022,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure represents a slight decrease from 2021, when emissions were about 578,400,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2 combined. However, emissions increased from 2018, which recorded total emissions of about 1,068,000,000 kg CO2e. RTE has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or any formal climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction strategies suggests that RTE may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate commitment framework. Overall, RTE's emissions data highlights the need for ongoing efforts to address carbon output and implement effective climate strategies in line with industry standards.
