ÖBB Annual Report 2023

Group Management Report 118 Österreichische Bundesbahnen-Holding Aktiengesellschaft Consolidated Financial Statements | Group Management Report 73 GHG emissions: Total footprint of ÖBB (national and international) in 2023 GRI 305-1, 305-2, 305-3, 305-5 Representation based on Scopes 1, 2 and 3 (market-based view 1) ) in CO 2 eq in tonnes Scope 1 Scope 2 Total Scope 1+2 Scope 3 2) Comparison to 2022 total Scope 1+2 ÖBB national (AT) 245,921 17,144 263,065 1,700,000 – 2,600,000 275,469 ÖBB international 34,748 82,821 117,569 88,398 Total 280,669 99,965 380,634 1,700,000 – 2,600,000 363,867 NOTE: Scope 2: ÖBB national (AT) and ÖBB international: market-based view 1) ), note on ÖBB international: currently different data availability/data quality in the respective European countries - work is being done to improve data quality - to cushion inaccuracies in data collection, a risk premium of 20 % was taken into account for ÖBB international. 1) Market-based: The market-based method reflects emissions from electricity that companies have deliberately chosen - by means of contractually regulated instruments. The location-based method reflects the average emission intensity of an energy source in the respective region (use of average emission factors - e.g. of a country). ÖBB specifically procures electricity from renewable energy sources - and does so for operations in Austria and, in part, also for operations internationally. Therefore, the market-based method was chosen for the GHG balance. In comparison, the Scope 2 location-based values (emission factors for electricity) for ÖBB as a whole (national + international) amount to 395,395 tonnes (market-based: 99,965 tonnes). 2) Range indication: Scope 3 emissions from the procurement of capital and consumer goods and services in particular currently extrapolated for 2023 on the basis of a rough calculation from 2017. Value varies annually depending on actual procurement volume (especially construction infrastructure, vehicle procurement). Detailed baseline data and GHG emissions for 2023 are already available for the following sub-categories: fuel and energy-related emissions, waste (hazardous waste), business travel (air travel), employee commuting, leased and rented property, plant and equipment Note: Work is already underway to collect basic data for further detailing the remaining Scope 3 emissions. The presentation of further essential Scope 3 subcategories is done step by step. Energy use List of energy sources used in 2023. The GHG balance presented is based on a total ÖBB energy requirement of approx. 3,518 GWh (ÖBB national + ÖBB international) in 2023 (2022 value: approx. 3,622 GWh). Energy consumption ÖBB national and international in 2023 GRI 302-1 Energy use ÖBB national (AT) ÖBB international 1) in Gigawatt hours (GWh) 2023 2022 2023 2022 Traction current (incl. losses) 2) 1,641.5 1,657.5 369.0 404.4 Three-phase current 294.0 296.7 7.0 8.2 Natural gas 115.8 135.1 9.1 14.2 District heating and cooling 128.0 123.1 0.1 0.1 Solid and liquid fuels 13.9 18.8 0.0 0.0 Fuel (rail and road vehicles) 1) 811.1 836.4 128.9 127.3 Total energy demand 3,004.3 3,067.6 514.0 554.2 NOTES: 1) ÖBB international was surveyed for the first time for 2021 - therefore 20% risk premium on values for 2021, 2022 and 2023 to cushion possible inaccuracies in the data collection. Work is in progress to improve data quality. 2) Due to the operation of the traction current infrastructure in Austria, transmission losses occur within the system boundary of the ÖBB-Group.
