Insights into EDP's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2024, EDP has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover both its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and value chain emissions (Scope 3), offering a comprehensive view of its total carbon footprint.
Does EDP have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2024, EDP has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
EDP's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 96% by 2040, compared to a baseline of 0 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) per Watt-hour (Wh) of Electricity Produced in 2020.
As of 2024, EDP is ahead of schedule on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 84.93% of the planned reduction.
EDP's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does EDP have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2024, EDP has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 9 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.
EDP's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 90% by 2040, compared to a baseline of 9,594,686 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2020.
As of 2024, EDP is lagging behind on its value chain emissions reduction target, having achieved 0.62% of the planned reduction.
EDP's Value Chain (Scope 3) Emissions Pathway
Does EDP have a target to reduce its total carbon footprint?
As of 2024, EDP has set a target to reduce its total carbon footprint, specifically those from Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 sources.
EDP's most ambitious carbon footprint target is to reduce its scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from a baseline of 19,493,226 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2020, by 90% by 2040.
As of 2024, EDP is ahead of schedule on its total carbon footprint reduction target, having achieved 47.09% of the planned reduction.
