Doing even more to reduce CO₂ emissions

In 2020, EDF group’s strengthened trajectory of CO₂ emissions reduction were approved by Science Based Targets SBTi ⁽²⁾ on a “Well Below 2°C” pathway.

In February 2024, EDF group’s emission reduction targets were validated by Moody’s (scope of EDF Ltd) as being in line with a + 1.5°C global warming scenario (consult the score).

In 2024, MSCI issued an assessment of 1.3°C implied temperature rise to EDF for the scope of EDF Ltd. An Implied Temperature Rise of below 1.5°C indicates that Électricité de France is in line with the Paris agreement’s maximal goal of keeping global mean temperature to 1.5°C ⁽³⁾.

In 2024, TPI has validated EDF’s emissions trajectory in line with the + 1.5°C global warming scenario for 2035 (consult the score).

2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, which motivated the development of ambitious climate policies in Europe and around the world. EDF group can boast of having divided its direct scope 1 emissions by 3 since 2015 (from 60.4 MtCO₂e in 2015 to 16.8 MtCO₂e in 2024) and by 3 its carbon intensity (from 95 gCO₂/kWh in 2015 to 30 gCO₂/kWh in 2024), while maintaining its title as the largest producer of decarbonised electricity in the world, i.e. produced without direct CO₂ emissions
