Lightsource Bp's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Lightsource bp reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,357,529,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were about 652,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 3,351,000 kg CO2e (market-based). The most substantial impact came from Scope 3 emissions, which reached approximately 1,357,529,000 kg CO2e, primarily driven by capital goods at about 1,269,250,000 kg CO2e. In comparison, the 2023 emissions data indicated a total of approximately 50,752,000 kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions, with Scope 1 at about 683,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 4,008,000 kg CO2e (market-based). This reflects a commitment to reducing emissions across all scopes. Lightsource bp has set ambitious reduction targets, aiming for a 42% decrease in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030, using 2021 as the base year. This target is part of their commitment to align with science-based targets, which have been approved despite the parent company, BP p.l.c., being temporarily excluded from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) due to its fossil fuel operations. The company also aims to reduce Scope 3 emissions by 52% per MW of generation capacity constructed within the same timeframe. These targets are cascaded from their parent company, BP p.l.c., and reflect a broader industry trend towards sustainability and carbon neutrality. Overall, Lightsource bp's emissions data and climate commitments demonstrate a proactive approach to addressing climate change, with a clear focus on significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
