“

At ENEA Group, we strive to minimize carbon dioxide emissions with a view to achieving climate neutrality in 2050. This way we align our organization with the European Union’s climate objectives and social expectations. To this end, we are developing renewable energy sources. We also intend to use gas as a low-carbon transition fuel.

Information on the planned increase in the installed RES capacity is provided in the chapter entitled New ENEA Group development strategy.

In addition to developing our own RES capacity, we are involved in endeavors aimed at ensuring the country’s energy transition:

by connecting RES to ENEA Operator’s grid

  • in 2021 the company connected nearly 47 thousand (including micro-installations); as a result, the total number of RES connected by the company was nearly 109 thousand at the end of the year;

by providing substantive support to businesses with RES capacity

  • in 2021, ENEA Operator launched the Generator Portal, a free proprietary IT tool that makes it easy to observe the reporting obligations for electricity generation and injection into the grid (in accordance with SOGL Guidelines).

On 16 March 2022, ENEA S.A. established a special-purpose vehicle ENEA Elkogaz, which will be responsible for the project entitled “Restoration of the generating capacity of 200 MW coal-fired units in ENEA Wytwarzanie based on the gaseous fuel combustion technology.”

Current carbon dioxide emission levels

The ENEA Group reports direct greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1) and starting from 2021 also its indirect greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 2) calculated using the location-based method. Both emission categories are expressed in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.

*In previous years – only for generating entities – see table CO₂ emissions related to electricity generation.
** A method of estimating Scope 2 emissions, which uses the average greenhouse gas emission intensity in a given geographic region. It reflects the average emissions intensity in the grids on which energy consumption occurs. Indirect energy-related GHG emissions must be reported using the location-based method if the reporting organization has no available data for a specific energy product or energy supplier; it does not reflect the differences in emission intensity of individual suppliers or guarantees of origin. For scope 2 emissions calculated with the location-based method for installations located in Poland, it is acceptable to use the average emission indicators published by the National Centre for Emissions Management (KOBiZE).

Intensity of greenhouse gas emissions from ENEA Group’s generation units

*Ratio of CO₂ emissions directly related to electricity generation to total gross electricity generation. In the case of the power plants in Kozienice and Połaniec as well as Elektrociepłownia Białystok and MEC Piła, the calculations are based on total CO2 emissions from electricity and heat generation processes, i.e. for sources that generate electricity only or those that cogenerate electricity and heat. Accordingly, the calculation of the ratio does not take into account any CO2 emissions from units that generate heat only, because these emissions are not related to electricity generation.

Information on the planned schedule of the path to climate neutrality is provided in the chapter entitled New ENEA Group development strategy.
