For the year 2023, Norte Energia prepared its third GHG inventory, which identified a total of 11,219.31tCO2e emissions distributed across Scopes 1, 2 and 3. Considering only Scopes 1 and 2, for which reporting is mandatory, 1,404.49 tCO2e were emitted. Furthermore, it is reported that, in terms of biogenic emissions, 1,431.49 tCO2e were mapped during the period, distributed in Scopes 1 and 3, and 250.98 tCO2e of non-Kyoto gases (corresponding to Gas R-22 in the category of fugitive emissions of Scope 1).
For Scope 1, the most representative direct emissions are related to Fugitive Emissions (45.73% of the total for this scope) which in 2023 had a 66.73% reduction due to the adoption of water or dry chemical powder extinguishers and other improvements. For this scope, the other categories that had associated emissions, as well as their respective percentages in relation to the total of this scope, were: stationary combustion (19.53%) and mobile combustion (30.94%). Mobile combustion emissions were reduced by 32.34% because of incentives to use ethanol.
