Uniper's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Uniper reported total carbon emissions of approximately 19,400,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions from Scope 1 accounting for this total. The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, indicating a lack of formal commitments to reduce emissions through frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). In 2022, Uniper's emissions were approximately 55,600,000,000 kg CO2e, again primarily from Scope 1 sources. The company has shown a consistent pattern of high emissions, with significant contributions from stationary combustion processes. Uniper's emissions data from previous years, including 2021, indicates a total of about 50,900,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions being the predominant source. The absence of disclosed reduction targets suggests that Uniper may be focusing on operational efficiency rather than formalised climate commitments. Overall, while Uniper's emissions figures highlight the scale of its carbon footprint, the lack of specific reduction targets or initiatives raises questions about its long-term climate strategy and commitment to sustainability.
