Compared to 2023, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Brookfield Renewable increased by 2.08%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing its emissions from its core operations.a
In 2024, the total Scope 1 emissions of Brookfield Renewable were 134,654 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2022, Brookfield Renewable's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 2.03%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), Brookfield Renewable's Scope 1 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Brookfield Renewable's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its operational footprint.a
In 2024, Brookfield Renewable reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 38,630 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 33,393 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Since 2022, Brookfield Renewable's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Brookfield Renewable's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), Brookfield Renewable's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) rose by 11.05% in 2024, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from purchased electricity and energya
In 2024, Brookfield Renewable reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2024, Brookfield Renewable reported 362,145 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2024 disclosure of Brookfield Renewable includes a breakdown across 2 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2023, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2024, Brookfield Renewable reported total Scope 3 emissions of 362,145 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 94.59% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 5.41% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2022, Brookfield Renewable's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 12.08%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2023), Brookfield Renewable's Scope 3 emissions increased by 133.21%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions across its value chain.ab
In 2024, Brookfield Renewable reported emissions for 2 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
The limited disclosure restricts visibility into specific emission sources across the company's value chain.
In 2024, the largest contributors to Brookfield Renewable's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Brookfield Renewable reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 134,654 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 4,142 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 32.51 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Brookfield Renewable reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 32.51 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 9.66, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Brookfield Renewable ranked 16 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Brookfield Renewable is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, Brookfield Renewable reported a total carbon footprint of 530,192 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 65.73% increase compared to 2023, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.ab
The largest contributor to Brookfield Renewable's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 68.3% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 25.4%.a
