tCO₂e (tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent) is a unit that measures the impact of different greenhouse gases on the greenhouse effect. It takes into account gases like methane and nitrous oxide, converting their global warming impact into an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) using their Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors.
In other words, 1 tCO₂e represents the emission of greenhouse gases with the same warming potential as 1 tonne of CO₂ over a specified time horizon (usually 100 years).
* Data estimated based on 2022, adjusted for changes in operating costs
** These are preliminary results. The final published emissions may change as an external consultant continues to verify the calculations. The final version will be released in the first half of 2025
Consolidated Results. Emissions outside of scopes for 2023
‘Outside of scopes’ emissions are greenhouse gas emissions that do not fit into the standard Scope 1, 2, and 3 categories defined in the GHG Protocol (Greenhouse Gas Protocol). Typically, these relate to emissions that are difficult to attribute to a specific organisation within the existing framework.
Reduction Initiatives in the Area of Aviation Fuel Defined target for LOT Polish Airlines set by the decarbonisation strategy for 2030*
CO2e emissions are calculated using the Well-to-Wheel life cycle of aviation fuel, covering the entire process from production, processing, storage, and distribution to the moment of combustion in aircraft engines. RTK (Revenue Tonne Kilometre) measures cargo transport, representing the carriage of one tonne of goods and passengers by air over a distance of one kilometre.
* The target boundary includes emissions associated with land and bioenergy feedstocks. Non-CO2e effects, which may also contribute to aviation-induced warming, are not included in this target. PGL will report this impact.
