Pochopenie našej stopy
Produktivita uhlíka je mierou toho, koľko hodnoty sa vytvára zo spotreby energie. Pracujeme na zlepšení našej uhlíkovej produktivity prostredníctvom niekoľkých mechanizmov vrátane: zlepšenia energetickej účinnosti našich výrobných procesov a distribúcie produktov; zvýšenie využívania obnoviteľnej energie; využívanie príležitostí na ďalšie nasadenie našej technológie a odborných znalostí na zachytávanie uhlíka; a umožniť našim zákazníkom a ich zákazníkom vyhnúť sa emisiám CO₂. Nižšie sú uvedené zlepšenia uhlíkovej produktivity na rok 2020, pričom od nášho základného roku 2015 sme sa vyhli zlepšeniam v oblasti efektívnosti, intenzity a nákladov.

Our direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2) CO₂ emissions are related to the energy we consume. In 2021, our Scope 1 GHG emissions, which are primarily from our HyCO operations were 14.8 million metric tons (MT), representing a 1.5 percent decrease from the prior year. Our Scope 2 emissions, which are due in large part to the electricity and steam we consume in our ASUs, were 9.4 million MT in 2021, which was an 2.4 percent increase from 2020. In 2021, Air Products enabled its customers and their customers to avoid 82 million MT of CO₂e, which was more than three times Air Products’ combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
Our Scope 3 emissions were 7.6 million MT and included three categories: upstream fuel and energy related activities, use of sold products, and investments. We have initiated discussions with some of our largest suppliers and equity affiliates on reducing Scope 3 CO₂ emissions. Please see the GRI Content Index for additional information on the breakdown of our GHG data..
Our CO₂ emissions for 2021 were externally verified by GHD Limited.
Fleet Efficiency
We have trucking fleets around the world that are focused on safely and efficiently delivering our products to our customers. To improve our distribution efficiency and reduce our Scope 1 CO₂ emissions, we have many initiatives underway, including investments in new trucks, trailers, technology, and facilities.
Continuing efforts to modernize our fleets with new, more efficient trucks have increased fuel efficiency. Distribution efficiency has also been improved through the addition of trailers with higher payloads. In 2021 we launched a program to convert our distribution fleet to hydrogen. We also have increased the number of hybrid cars in our vehicle fleet.
Technology is also key to improving distribution efficiency and we are using data to help our truck delivery drivers be more agile in addressing driving parameters they can control, such as revving and idling. This is complemented by improvements in scheduling that improve efficiency, reduce miles, and decrease return trips.
Vyhlásenie o politike zmeny klímy
Klimatické zmeny, spotreba energie a spotreba vody sú neoddeliteľne spojené. Pri pohľade do budúcnosti sa očakáva, že svetová populácia vzrastie do roku 2050 na viac ako deväť miliárd ľudí, pričom ich potreba energie, vody a potravín sa bude zvyšovať ešte rýchlejšie. Z týchto dôvodov je životne dôležité maximalizovať efektívne využívanie zdrojov Zeme a zároveň minimalizovať vplyvy na životné prostredie.
Dlhodobá stratégia Air Products ako reagovať na tieto výzvy je priamočiara. Našim zákazníkom umožňujeme znižovať svoj vplyv na životné prostredie poskytovaním nákladovo efektívnych technológií a produktov, ktoré zlepšujú ich energetickú a vodnú účinnosť a znižujú emisie do životného prostredia. Zároveň sa snažíme vo vlastných prevádzkach znižovať spotrebu energie a vody, ako aj emisie prostredníctvom zvyšovania efektívnosti a technologických inovácií. V týchto oblastiach dosahujeme skutočný pokrok, čo dokazujú naše ciele v oblasti environmentálnej udržateľnosti a súvisiace úspory nákladov.
