We recognise the importance of tackling the impacts of our legacy business, as locked-in emissions pose a significant transition challenge if left unaddressed. To guide progress toward our net-zero goals, we have set an absolute emissions reduction target for scope 3 emissions from gas sales, aiming to reduce emissions by ~67% by 2030 (baseline 2018) and by ~90% by 2040. To mitigate potential risks associated with locked-in emissions, we focus on measurable performance and avoiding additional locked-in emissions by not entering into new gas sourcing agreements that would contribute to additional locked-in emissions.

Use of sold products (category 11) emissions from end-use of gas. Capital goods (category 2) wind farms, offshore. The model is based on the ISO 14040/44 life cycle assessment standard and applied in the openLCA software. The modeling is conducted using the Environmental Footprint 3.0 LCIA (life cycle impact assessment) method, and the impacts of each activity/material come from the ecoinvent environmental database, version 3.8.
