- Increased GHG emissions in 2023 due to higher natural gas generation in Texas to meet electricity grid demand.
- Climate-related physical risks (increasing temperatures, severe weather, water scarcity).
- Climate-related transition risks (changes in energy systems, customer expectations, regulations).
Constellation Energy Corporation
Greenhouse gas emissions & sustainability report data
In its 2023 reporting, Constellation Energy Corporation disclosed greenhouse gas emissions of 9.68 million metric tons of CO2e (Scope 1) + 380,000 metric tons of CO2e (market-based Scope 2) + (Scope 3). By scope: Scope 1: 9.68 million metric tons of CO2e; Scope 2: 380.0K metric tons of CO2e (market-based). Figures are as stated in the company's own report and may use different boundaries, units or methods (for example market-based vs location-based Scope 2), so compare with care.
