GHG Emissions

Scope 1 Direct Emissions

Scope 1: Per US EPA, Scope 1 emissions are direct greenhouse (GHG) emissions that occur from sources that are controlled or owned by an organization (e.g., emissions associated with fuel combustion in boilers, furnaces, vehicles).

Scope emissions include Mountaineer acquisition, which closed in September 2021. Mountaineer Scope 1 emissions in 2022 were 131,930 metric tons of CO2 equivalent.

Decrease in Scope 1 emissions largely reflect UGI’s sale of its ownership stake in Conemaugh coal-fire generation facility.

Increase in Scope 1 emissions largely reflects increased utilization of Hunlock power generation facility and the Marshland System. Unlike adjustments made for UGI’s
Scope 1 Emissions Reduction Commitment, this figure does not take a 5-year emissions average from the Hunlock power generation facility to account for year-over-year differences in run time. Emissions from Moraine East and Pennant are included in this figure and they were 45,578 and 15,962 metric tons of CO2 equivalent, respectively.

Beginning in Fiscal 2020, UGI International included all regions (West, North, East and Central) in its LPG footprint analysis.

UGI International reclassified its Scope 1 emissions to include its outsourced fleet, which was previously captured in Scope 3 emissions.

Scope 2 Indirect Emissions

Volume (MWh)

Per US EPA, Scope 2 emissions are indirect GHG emissions associated with the purchase of electricity, steam, heat, or cooling. Although Scope 2 emissions physically occur at the facility where they are generated, they are accounted for in an organization’s GHG inventory because they are a result of the organization’s energy use.

UGI began segmenting MWh by source beginning in FY22.

Market-Based Emissions (metric tons CO2 equivalent)

Market-based: Market-Based Emissions are accounted for by allocation and reflect emissions from electricity that companies have purposefully chosen (or their lack of choice).

Location-Based Emissions (metric tons CO2 equivalent)

Location-based: Location-Based Emissions are accounted for by allocation and reflect the average emissions intensity of grids on which energy consumption occurs (using mostly grid-average emission factor data).
