Direct CO2eq Emissions (Scope1)
In 2017 the direct CO2eq emissions amounted to approximately 1.50 million tonnes (+4.3% compared with 2016). The direct CO2 emissions from combustion amounted to approx. 0.69 million tonnes (+14.4% compared with 2016), whereas the CO2eq emissions deriving from the methane emissions amounted to approximately 0.81 million tonnes5 (-3% compared with 2016).
In 2017, in relation to the maintenance activities and the adding of new gas pipelines, 4.1 million cubic metres of natural gas, amounting to approximately 71,500 tonnes of CO2eq were saved. The methane emissions per kilometre of transportation network decreased by a further 1.5% compared to 2016.
