As part of our ongoing work to reduce emissions, we continue to look to minimise our direct operational emissions (Category 1-4 emissions). The reduction in Category 1 emissions between 2022 and 2023 was primarily driven by a reduction in fuel gas used for compression and heating, plus reduced volumes of natural gas venting.
The increase in Category 2 emissions between 2022 and 2023 can be largely attributed to Clarus accounting for GHG emissions associated with ‘network line losses’ following the acquisition of Firstlight Network. Increased emissions associated with our imported LPG and subsequent international shipping movements is the main contributing factor for the increase in Category 3 & 4 emissions.
