Our Scope 1 emissions included all direct emissions from owned or controlled sources e.g., fire extinguishers, SF6 , gas, fuels like diesel, petrol, etc. While our Scope 2 emissions included Indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity from the grid and transmission & distribution (T&D) losses in our network.

Scope 3 Emissions
| Category | Emissions (in MtCO2e) |
Emission Calculation Methodology |
|---|---|---|
| Purchased goods and services | 1,66,907 |
Spend-based method was used, where the spend data for different commodities purchased is taken as an input for the activity data. Emission factors for this category were referred from US EPA's Supply Chain Greenhouse Gas Emission Factors v1.2 by NAICS-6 dataset for India. |
| Capital goods | 5,41,882 | |
| Fuel-and-energy related activities | 14,25,101 | T&D losses occurring in the grid for the consumed electricity and emissions due to extraction, production, and transportation of fuels consumed by the organisation. Plus emissions accounted from the generation of purchased electricity. Used Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of India published emissions factors and declared T&D Losses. |
| Upstream transportation and distribution | 26,757 | Hybrid method was used to consolidate emissions in this category. Supplier-specific method was adopted for road transport, in which the fuel consumed was taken as input data point. For transportation through other modes such as train, sea and air, distance travelled has been taken as the activity data. Emission Factors for this category were referred from DEFRA and IPCC. |
| Waste generated in Operations | 21 |
Emissions in this category stem from disposal in a landfill, recovery for recycling, incineration, composting, wastewater treatment. Emission factors for specific waste types and waste treatment methods were used from DEFRA 2024. We have diverted 99.4% of waste from landfill and are certified as Zero waste to landfill by M/s Intertek Private Limited for O&M sites, & grid division, and by M/s BVCI for electricity retail division. |
| Business travel | 1,070 | Distance-based data for air, rail and road mode was selected as data input. We refer secondary references to identify the context-specific emission factor. ICAO Carbon Air Emissions Calculator - Passenger, Road and Rail emissions factor from India GHG protocol. |
| Employee commute | 2,954 | Average data method based on survey responses received from employees. Data inputs include mode of travel, fuel and distance. Referred DEFRA and GHG Protocol mobile combustion guidance for determining the emission factors |
| Upstream leased assets | 0 | No upstream leased assets other than logistics vehicles which are already covered under Scope 1 as fuel used is paid by Adani Energy Solutions, thus emissions under this category are 0 for the reporting period |
| Downstream transportation and distribution | 0 | No downstream transportation and distribution other than Waste disposal, customer care offices and logistics vehicles used for the distribution & transmission line inspection, O&M teams, which are already covered under Scope 1 as fuel used is paid by Adani Energy Solutions, thus emissions under this category are 0 for the reporting period. |
| Processing of sold products | 0 | No processing required for use of our Product (Electricity) or services and thus, emissions under this category is reported 0. |
| Use of sold products | 0 | No additional energy required for use of our Product (Electricity) or services, thus reported 0. |
| End-of-life treatment of sold products | 0 | No end-of-life treatment for our Product (Electricity) or services, hence reported 0. |
| Downstream leased assets | 0 | Downstream leased assets for customer care are included in Scope 2, hence this category of emissions is reported 0. |
| Franchises | 0 | No franchises for our Product or services, therefore disclosed as 0. |
| Investments | 0 | Investments made in other entity where we don’t have Operations control, hence emissions under this category are not relevant for tracking and monitoring, thus disclosed as 0. |
| Other (upstream & downstream) | 0 | We do not track activity data under this category as we believe the relevant Scope 3 emissions are already covered in the specific categories, thus reported 0. |
Other Air Emissions
Adani Energy Solutions employs a comprehensive approach to minimise air emissions at its Dahanu thermal power station. The company uses advanced flue gas desulfurisation technology to significantly reduce SOx emissions. To tackle NOx emissions, Adani Energy Solutions has implemented selective catalytic reduction and De-NOx systems. The station also mitigates dust emissions through 99.9% efficiency electrostatic precipitators with In-house developed Ammonia dosing system to improve collection efficiency. Furthermore, Adani Energy Solutions adheres to strict protocols for handling and disposing of ozone-depleting substances (ODS), ensuring minimal environmental impact. By integrating these technologies and practices, Adani Energy Solutions ensures cleaner air and a healthier environment around its operations using -
- Online monitoring of emission levels of SO2 , NOx, and TPM in Flue gas
- Four Ambient air quality monitoring stations to measure PM10, PM2.5, SO2 and NOx along with one meteorological station for weather monitoring
| Production of ODS in metric tonnes of CFC-11 (trichlorofluoromethane) equivalent | ZERO |
| Imports of ODS in metric tonnes of CFC-11 (trichlorofluoromethane) equivalent | ZERO |
| Exports of ODS in metric tonnes of CFC-11 (trichlorofluoromethane) equivalent | ZERO |
| Substances included in the calculation | *ODS emissions includes R22, R410A and SF6 are not considered as their ODP is zero, although they are emitted. SF6 Emissions (tCO2e) is included in our overall Scope 1 emissions |
| Source of the emission factors used | IPCC |
| Standards, methodologies, assumptions, and/or calculation tools used | GHG Protocol |
