Our energy supply chain

Greenhouse gas emissions across the supply chain

As an energy producer and retailer, for the most part emissions in our supply chain are generated by the energy we sell to our customers. Over the past year, we have continued to work with our customers to reduce emissions.

During the reporting period, total emissions across our supply chain increased by 23 per cent to 49.4 MtCO2-e. This is as a result of the growth in our customer numbers following the acquisition of Sun Retail in February 2007. Of these emissions, 2.1 MtCO2-e are produced by Origin, with the remaining 47.3 MtCO2-e resulting from other emissions across the supply chain. Mainly because the average carbon intensity of electricity purchased from third parties is higher than the average carbon intensity of our own activities, emissions intensity across our supply chain also increased with the purchase of Sun Retail, by 9.4 per cent to 151.6 ktCO2-e/PJe.
