Definition according to ESRS
Disclosure Requirement E1-7 – Energy consumption and mix
27. The undertaking with operations in high climate impact sectors shall further disaggregate its total energy consumption from fossil sources by:
fuel consumption from coal and coal products;
fuel consumption from crude oil and petroleum products;
fuel consumption from natural gas;
fuel consumption from other fossil sources; and
consumption of purchased or acquired electricity, heat, steam, or cooling from fossil sources.
Important note!
"Total energy consumption" does not mean only the consumption in the high climate impact sectors. It means all fossil consumption of the company.
This is especially relevant for companies that are active in several sectors. The company as a whole has a higher duty of transparency about climate impacts because of its sector membership.
