Scope 3 accounts for ••• of total emissions.
Uniper, headquartered in Germany and operating in the Electricity by nuclear industry, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 81.1 billion kg CO2e in 2024. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of 14.8 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of 2 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of 64.3 billion kg CO2e. This data is cascaded from its parent company, Uniper SE.
Looking back, Uniper's emissions have fluctuated. In 2023, Scope 1 emissions were 19.7 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were 1 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were 65.5 billion kg CO2e. In 2022, Scope 1 emissions were 25.8 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were 900 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalled 74.7 billion kg CO2e. In 2021, Scope 1 emissions were 24.8 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were 800 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were 88.3 billion kg CO2e. For 2020, only Scope 1 emissions of 18.8 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of 900 million kg CO2e were disclosed, with no Scope 3 data available. In 2019, Scope 1 emissions were 17.6 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were 1.3 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were approximately 88.33 billion kg CO2e.
