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).
Regarding Scope 2, the SIN Annual Average Factor was 0.0385 tCO2e/MWh and the total electricity consumption was 500.79 MWh, distributed between the Belo Monte and Pimental HPPs, the Altamira and Brasília offices, among other locations for which Norte Energia is responsible for electricity consumption. Thus, such consumption resulted in the emission of 19.68 tCO₂e.
In the previous year’s inventory, Scope 2 emissions were 24.71 tCO2, meaning there was a 20.36% reduction in 2023. It is important to highlight, however, that the SIN emission factor in 2022 was 0.0426 tCO 2e/MWh, that is, 9.6% higher than the 2023 factor (0.0385 tCO 2e/MWh), which contributes to the reduction of emissions associated with electricity consumption.
