By 2025 we are committed to increasing the value created per unit of GHG emissions produced and expect to achieve a Scope 1 GHG emission intensity of 130 gCO2eq/kWh.

In addition, in order to improve air quality in the areas where we operate, we pay special attention to the constant reduction of emissions of the main pollutants associated with thermal energy generation: sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter. By 2025, we expect a reduction in specific emissions in line with the Enel Group's targets of -93% for SO2 (vs 2017), -66% for NOx (vs 2017) and -98% for particulate matter (vs 2017).

Our vision for 2030

We have committed to advancing our Zero emissions ambition in 10 years, from 2050 to 2040.

On the way to achieving this goal, by 2030 the Enel Group, of which Enel Américas is a part, has confirmed the objective of reducing Scope 1 emissions by 82% compared to 2017, in line with the 1.5°C scenario certified by the SBTi, and reducing indirect emissions related to sales of electricity and natural gas to end users. In addition, our commitment to protecting the planet will mean a progressive increase in the value created per unit of GHG emission produced.

We estimate that by 2030 we will have achieved a specific emissions reduction of -94% for SO2 (vs 2017), -70% for NOx (vs 2017) and -98% for particulate matter (vs 2017). The trend and targets for pollutant reduction are consistent as they are linked to the Group's Strategic Plan and the decarbonisation objective.

Responsible use of water
The Group is committed to gradually reducing the water requirement in all production processes as much as possible while promoting internal recirculation, with a particular focus on water-stressed areas.

Circular Economy
We are working to improve circularity in terms of fuel and material consumption for the entire life cycle of our generation plants.
Our vision for 2030
At the level of the Enel Group, of which we are a part, we are committed to reaching the target of 92% by 2030 compared to 2015.

Managing Biodiversity
Our vision for 2030

The Company, aware of the need to increase efforts in response to biodiversity loss, sets itself the goal of achieving zero net loss for new infrastructure by 2030.

The decarbonisation of power generation must be supported by the gradual replacement of thermal power plants with new renewable capacity, and we expect to reach around 98% renewable energy generation by 2025.
Our vision for 2030
At Enel Américas we are committed to continue increasing our generation capacity from renewable sources, moving towards net-zero by 2030.
