Carbon Report 2024

GHG Emissions Data for 2023 (Period 1^st January 2023 to 31^st December 2023)

Renewable Energy Generation

1.0 Solar Generation 

• Solar panels were fitted at the Peterhead facility in June 2023.
• Solar generation is weather dependent and highly seasonal. As such, energy rates will fluctuate across the year. As such, we have applied actual generation data rather than forecast data.

• Total verified carbon savings conferred through solar generation for FY23 were 3.3 tCO2e.
  
• H2 FY23 renewable energy generation was equivalent to approximately 10% of total Scope 2 carbon.

Ocura ESG Targets Framework

Quantitative Carbon Targets for Ocura

4. Transition to zero carbon supply and distribution by 2038
5. Achieve Net Zero emissions by 2040

Phase 1: Short Term

1. 5% reduction against FY23 baseline
2. Transition to 100% renewable energy and remove Scope 2 emissions (Target 1)

Phase 2: Medium Term

1. 15% absolute reduction against FY23 baseline by 2030
2. Overall 50% operational carbon reduction from both Scope 1 and Scope 2 (Target 2)

Phase 3: Long Term

1. 30% absolute reduction against FY23 baseline by c.2032
2. 50% absolute reduction against FY23 baseline by 2035 with Scope 1 and 2 removed
3. Longer term reductions are contingent on wider societal and infrastructural changes e.g. green fleet network
4. Phase 3 targets can be reviewed and reset without issue
