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 3 (whose reporting is not mandatory in light of the PBGHG methodology), the largest source of emissions consists of logistics covered by the transportation and distribution category (upstream). This refers to the transportation of service providers outsourced by Norte Energia, corresponding to 64.1% of the total scope inventoried in 2023. In terms of variation, the most representative change in relation to the inventory for the year 2022 is in the Employee displacement, category. It increased 1,141.2% due to the increase in the number of employees, as well as because of their greater adherence to the survey that was applied in 2023. For this category, the percentage of emissions in relation to the Scope 3 universe was 25.64%.
Other categories and activities of indirect (Scope 3) GHG emissions included in the calculation do not apply.
Still for scope 3, the other categories that had associated emissions, as well as their respective percentages in relation to the total of this scope, were: Fuel and energy-related activities not included in Scopes 1 and 2 (1.50%), Waste generated in operations (0.53%) and Business travel (8.28%).
