COMMENTARY ON CHANGES: 2022 VS
2023
COMPARISON OF SCOPES 1 AND 2: 2022
VS 2023
In 2022, we changed our reporting from an
operational control basis to an equity approach,
and provide a comparison vs. 2023 on an equity
basis only. Asset emissions are calculated
based on Mercuria’s percentage equity share
of each asset and investment. Equity share
gives a better reflection of our business model
compared to the operational control basis as
we are not primarily an operator of assets.
The figure above illustrates the changes of
Scopes 1, 2 and 3 from 2022 to 2023. Scope 1
emissions increased from 505,728 Tonnes
CO2e in 2022 to 713,338 Tonnes CO2e in 2023
and Scope 2 emissions increased from 77,295
Tonnes CO2e to 123,317 Tonnes CO2e,
primarily attributable to the investment in
several new businesses.
