In 2021, Midcoast Energy reported total carbon emissions of approximately 191,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 2 emissions of about 146,000 kg CO2e, derived from purchased steam and electricity, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 45,000 kg CO2e, primarily from business travel. Notably, there is no reported data for Scope 1 emissions for this year. In 2020, the company disclosed Scope 1 emissions amounting to approximately 1,422,604,000 kg CO2e. This significant figure highlights the company's operational impact, although Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions data were not provided for that year. Midcoast Energy has not established specific reduction targets or commitments, nor does it appear to participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests a need for further development in their climate strategy. Overall, while Midcoast Energy has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of comprehensive data and reduction commitments indicates potential areas for improvement in its climate action efforts.
