The direct emissions (scope 1) caused by Renewi Netherlands over the whole of 2021 amounted to 336,155 tonnes of CO2 and consisted of about 67% direct process emissions. In addition, 22% of the scope 1 CO2emissions caused by diesel consumption by trucks. We also use diesel as fuel for location vehicles and other equipment, which accounts for more than 6% of the scope 1 CO2emissions. Gas consumption at our locations causes just under 5% and about 0.5% within scope 1 is caused by the fuel consumption of lease cars.
The indirect CO2emissions (scope 2) for the whole of 2021 amounted to 70 128 tonnes of CO2 and are almost 100% caused by purchased electricity on locations, and also by electricity consumption of the lease cars (0.4%).
The total CO2-footprint for 2021 consisted of 83% scope 1 emissions and 17% scope 2 emissions. The overall footprint decreased by 16% compared to 2019 and increased by 0.7% compared to 2020. This is mainly due to the diesel consumption of the collection and transport vehicles
In 2020, the Commercial Waste Netherlands division had 5 projects running in which the CO2 Performance Ladder certificate was an important requirement. These 5 projects accounted for a total CO2 of 349.4 tons.
