Our carbon footprint In 2021, our scope 1 and 2 emissions amounted to 18,838 tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). This represents a 1.6% increase in emissions compared to 2020 and an 7.9% decrease compared to our base year, 2019. It should be noted that emissions related to offices represent around 90% of our scope 1 and 2 and have globally decreased since 2019. However, our efforts to reduce the emissions are difficult to assess due to the Covid-19 sanitary crisis. Regarding industrial site activities in both years 2020 and 2021, they have also been largely impacted by the pandemic and GHG emissions do not reflect available manufacturing capacity. From 2022 onwards, we will continue to focus on implementing tangible reduction measures in order to meet our targets.
The assessment of our value-chain emissions is an integral part of our sustainability strategy. We are committed to measuring our full carbon footprint, including scope 3 downstream, on an annual basis. The calculation of scope 3 emissions is one of the most complex and technically challenging topics. In 2021, we estimated a portion of our scope 3 emissions, related to projects for our clients. These emissions, corresponding to the purchased goods and services for subcontracted construction activities, amounted to 225,097 tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). From 2022, we will progressively expand our reporting to include new categories of both upstream and downstream emissions with an ultimate objective of setting a scope 3 emissions reduction target in the future.
We are also working on defining our scope 4 emissions. These represent the emissions saved or avoided due to our technologies and solutions: saved emissions correspond to the reduction of emissions from our brownfield awards whereas avoided emissions correspond to the avoidance of emissions from our greenfield awards. Although scope 4 is a new concept without a standardized methodology, we believe we must quantify the CO2 impact of our offers for clients, to provide a decision-making tool for more carbon-conscious choices and accompany our clients to lower their emissions and meet their own targets.
In 2022, Technip Energies will respond to the CDP climate change questionnaire and will reinforce its climate strategy in accordance with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations.
QatarEnergy North Field East (NFE) project in Qatar The NFE design will emit approximately 25% less CO2 than a normal LNG plant through: A CO2 Capture and Sequestration (CCS) system that will be the largest of its kind
in terms of capacity in the LNG industry, and will be one of the largest ever developed anywhere in the world
A better energy efficiency due to waste heat recovery facilities NOx emissions will be reduced by 40% through the application of enhanced
Dry Low NOx technology
