For the year 2023, Hitachi Energy reported a total of approximately 189.6 billion kg CO2e. This comprised approximately 81.6 million kg CO2e of Scope 1 emissions, and approximately 169.5 billion kg CO2e of Scope 3 emissions. Scope 2 emissions were reported as approximately 10.0 million kg CO2e using market-based accounting and approximately 181.6 million kg CO2e using location-based accounting.
In 2022, the company's total emissions were approximately 260.1 billion kg CO2e. This included approximately 83.8 million kg CO2e of Scope 1 emissions, approximately 175.9 billion kg CO2e of Scope 3 emissions, and approximately 11.7 million kg CO2e of Scope 2 emissions (market-based) or approximately 170.1 million kg CO2e (location-based).
Hitachi Energy has set ambitious climate targets. These include reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by at least 80 percent by 2030, with 2019 as the base year. Furthermore, the company aims to reduce its Scope 3 emissions intensity by 55 percent by 2030 and by 97 percent by 2050, also compared to 2019 levels. A separate target also indicates a reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 50 percent by 2030 from 2019 levels.
For 2021, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 144.9 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 48.0 million kg CO2e (market-based) or approximately 186.5 million kg CO2e (location-based). Scope 3 data was not disclosed for this year.
In 2020, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 186.4 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 177.9 million kg CO2e (market-based) or approximately 189.0 million kg CO2e (location-based). Scope 3 data was not disclosed for this year.
In 2019, total emissions were approximately 361.1 billion kg CO2e, including approximately 171.6 million kg CO2e of Scope 1 emissions, approximately 166.0 billion kg CO2e of Scope 3 emissions, and approximately 189.5 million kg CO2e of Scope 2 emissions (market-based) or approximately 193.0 million kg CO2e (location-based).
