Insights into RWE's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways

As of 2024, RWE 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 RWE have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?

As of 2024, RWE has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.

RWE's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 98.3% by 2040, compared to a baseline of 0 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) per Watt-hour (Wh) of Electricity Produced in 2022.

As of 2024, RWE is ahead of schedule on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 16.64% of the planned reduction.
