Environmental
With roots tracing back to early public concern about urban smog and air quality issues, Westport Fuel Systems is now powering the shift to affordable, sustainable and efficient transportation solutions that both mitigate climate change and clean the air. We’re also committed to maintaining high standards of environmental stewardship in our operations, including reducing our own carbon footprint. In connection with our ESG strategy, we are taking a deeper look at potential climate-related mitigation activities.
2020 Performance
During 2020, we were able to reduce our Scope 1 emissions by 39.35% and our Scope 2 emissions by 21.43% for a total of 1,539 tonnes CO2-equivalent, a reduction equivalent to removing 471 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles from service or preventing 655,623 litres of gasoline from being consumed.
Overall energy intensity declined by 17.85% and GHG intensity by 20.54% compared to 2019. While this was largely due to reduced consumption from COVID-19 related facility closures and increased working from home requirements, we also saw reduced intensities as a result of site-based projects targeting reduced energy consumption and GHG emitting.
