Concept

+

Sector specific method Scenarios Assess and benchmark targets of energy intensive companies

  • 1. Identify leadership examples
  • 2. Increase transparency and establish a “baseline”

Analysis I Sample

  • 70 companies
  • Electric utilities (40)
  • Cement (10)
  • Chemical (10)
  • Aluminium (10)
  • Collected
  • Historical emissions
  • Activity data
  • Targets
  • Calculated:
  • Intensities
  • Activity projections
  • Emissions pathway

Analysis I Method

Absolute emissions Emissions intensity Information collected was graphically represented and companies classified as:

Analysis I Limitations

Analysis:

  • 1. Only direct (scope 1) emissions analysed (so far)
  • 2. Activity projections based on IEA macro scenarios
  • 3. Assessing ambition not performance

SDA:

  • 1. Scenario is peak and decline  some sectors allowed to increase emissions in short

term  companies might be allowed to increase emissions in short term
