- Increased natural gas use for heating and cooling due to weather conditions and increased electricity demand leading to a 2.6% increase in Scope 1 and 2 emissions from the previous year.
- Year-on-year increase in Scope 3 emissions driven by increases in jet fuel and construction emissions. Jet fuel emissions grew by 36% due to growth in passenger numbers and aircraft movements.
- Scope 3 aircraft flight emissions (96% of total emissions) are the hardest to abate.
