In 2024, the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 126,334,019,090 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 34,875,864,130 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 9,595,740 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 91,448,577,220 kg CO2e. The previous year, 2023, saw total emissions of about 118,906,107,730 kg CO2e, indicating a slight increase in emissions year-on-year. EGAT's emissions profile reveals a significant reliance on upstream transportation and distribution, which accounted for approximately 84,214,776,300 kg CO2e in 2024. The authority has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a potential area for future commitment. The organisation's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent company, and all reported figures are derived directly from EGAT's own disclosures. As a major player in the energy sector, EGAT's commitment to addressing climate change remains crucial, particularly in the context of Thailand's broader climate goals.
