- Health and safety risks due to infrastructure expansion and increased project volume.
- Supply chain bottlenecks for critical components due to high global demand.
- New and comprehensive sustainability reporting requirements (CSRD and EU Taxonomy).
Energinet
Greenhouse gas emissions & sustainability report data
In its 2023 reporting, Energinet disclosed greenhouse gas emissions of 462.5K tCO2e/year. By scope: Scope 1: 38.6K tCO2e/year; Scope 2: 152.2K tCO2e/year; Scope 3: 270.3K tCO2e/year (cost-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.
