In 2024, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Emera amounted to 13,383,982 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. This figure includes both direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2).a
Compared to 2023, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Emera increased by ∞%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing its emissions from its core operations.a
In 2024, the total Scope 1 emissions of Emera were 13,381,615 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
In 2024, Emera reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 2,367 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
In 2024, Emera reported its Scope 2 emissions using the location-based method.a
In 2024, Emera reported 8,626,820 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 Emera includes a breakdown across 2 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, up from 0 in 2023, reflecting improved emissions accounting practices and greater transparency across the company's value chaina
In 2024, Emera reported total Scope 3 emissions of 8,626,820 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 10.2% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 89.8% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2021, Emera's Scope 3 emissionshave remained relatively stable, indicating that Emera's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.ab
Compared to the previous year (2023), Emera's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Emera's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.ab
In 2024, Emera 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 Emera's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Emera reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 13,381,615 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 5,005 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 2,673.53 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Emera reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 2,673.53 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 601.58, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Emera ranked 21 out of 24 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
This places Emera among the least efficient performers, with one of the highest emissions intensities in its sector.a
In 2024, Emera reported a total carbon footprint of 22,010,802 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 165.16% increase compared to 2023, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.ab
The largest contributor to Emera's total carbon footprint was Scope 1 emissions, accounting for 60.8% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 3 emissions at 39.19%.a
