81 Cloudberry Annual report 2022 Sustainability report Appendix Scope 3 breakdown Category 1 (purchased goods and services): For 2022 Cloudberry reported a total of 6 tCO2e in Category 1. These emissions include the transportation between service providers’ location and the locations of hydro plants and wind farms that received service. This was a total of 31,425 km. Cloudberry’s reporting system aims to include irregular emissions, such as those from the production and replacement of major parts and onsite work. For example, four days of work with an excavator at the hydropower plant Finnesetbekken has been included under Category 1. For the years in which we have construction using concrete, steel, copper, the associated emissions, and other construction related emissions, these will be reported under Category 1. Category 2 (capital goods): This report includes the emissions from the production, transportation, and installation of wind turbines purchased by Cloudberry. In 2022, this amounted to 10,693 tCO2e and included the wind turbines at the Odal and Hån wind farms. This was the most significant component of Cloudberry’s scope 3 emissions, accounting for 99.7% of the total GHG emissions (Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3). Our calculations are based on LCA numbers provided by the turbine manufacturer, adapted to fit site specific numbers such as hub height and wind conditions. Going forward, Cloudberry will report these emissions in line with payments made to the turbine manufacturer. I.e., when 20% of the payments are made, 20% of the emissions are reported. Cloudberry has adopted this approach as the payments follow the construction progress and the production under the turbine supply agreement. The exception is the initial payment under the supplier agreements, as the carbon emissions will occur at a later stage in the production cycle of the machinery. The number reported for 2022 includes 17% and 60% of the total Category 2 emissions for the construction of the wind farms Odal and Hån respectively. Category 3 (Fuel-and-energy related activities): In accordance with the GHG protocol, Cloudberry reports the well-to-tank and transmission & distribution emissions related to the electricity use at the powerplants and offices. Since the power plants and offices are in the Nordics, this accounted for only a minor portion of the total emissions. Category 5 (waste management): Cloudberry reports on waste management from our offices, projects under construction, and power plants under operation. Waste from Cloudberry’s offices in Oslo, Karlstad, Eskilstuna and Särö accounted for 5,932 kilograms. The waste from Hån wind farm during construction in 2022 totaled 28,910 kilograms. Combined, all of Cloudberry’s waste management contributed to 11 tCO2e. Category 6 (business travel): Cloudberry reports emission from air travel, rental cars and milage allowance, which in total accounted for 11 tCO2e. Category 15 (investments): Cloudberry reports the electricity used in the hydropower plants in Forte Energy Norway AS, where the company has 34% ownership. The total registered emissions from Scope 3 were 10,723 tCO2e in 2022. Cloudberry will continue to evaluate and include more aspects of emissions from its value chain activities going forward.
