It also includes the fuel consumption of the vehicle fleet, which is predominantly leased. We report on the CO2 emissions caused by this in Scope 1. GRI 302-1a Our production processes do not cause direct emissions of other greenhouse gases (e.g. process emissions). The emissions of cooling agents from cooling and refrigeration plants are negligible compared to CO2 emissions. They are therefore not reported on. In 2022, the primary energy demand amounted to 79,683 megawatt hours, down 8.1 per cent compared to the previous year. This is due to opposing effects. Shortterm energy-saving measures in connection with the gas shortage led to significantly lower consumption at the German locations. In addition, a milder winter not only resulted in lower consumption in Germany, but also at all European locations. In China, the primary energy demand rose sharply as production volumes grew again towards the end of the pandemic, partly offsetting the positive trend. Scope 1 emissions are essentially derived from primary energy consumption. Only a shift between the various energy sources such as fuel oil, natural gas, diesel and petrol can lead to slight deviations. The influencing factors are correspondingly identical with those of primary energy consumption. Scope 1 emissions are shown in the second diagram on the right and amounted to 16,563 tonnes of CO2 equivalents in 2022. GRI 305-1 Final energy consumption and Scope 2 emissions Festo obtains its final energy almost exclusively in the form of electricity. Two locations are heated with district heating in an environmentally friendly manner. The associated emissions are reported in Scope 2. GRI 302-1c Final energy demand amounted to 140,623 megawatt hours in 2022 and was roughly on a par with the previous year. Due to the catch-up effects of the second year of the pandemic, it was not possible to achieve any significant absolute savings. By contrast, Scope 2 emissions caused by final energy demand fell by a further five per cent year-on-year to 31,744 tonnes of CO2 equivalents. This is due both to internal measures, in particular the expansion of in-house power generation with photovoltaic systems, as well as to external factors such as the general expansion of renewable energy systems by our energy suppliers. GRI 305-2 Total Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions amounted to 48,307 tonnes of CO2 equivalents in 2022. The total energy demand in relation to turnover (primary and final energy) fell by 15 per cent compared to the previous year to its lowest level ever of 57.8 megawatt hours/million euros. Turnover-related emissions of Scope 1 and 2 fell by 18 per cent compared to the previous year, also reaching the lowest level ever of 12.7 tonnes of CO2 equivalents/million euros. As a result, energy requirements and greenhouse gas emissions are now decoupled from turnover. The much faster development in emissions is due to the purchase of green electricity.
