Scope 1 refers to direct emissions from operations that are owned or controlled by the organization. We use emission factors from different sources, e.g., IPCC, API GHG Compendium, etc. Since 2016, OMV has been applying global warming potentials of the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4 – 100 years).

2

Scope 2 refers to indirect emissions resulting from the generation of purchased or acquired electricity, heating, cooling, or steam. We use emission factors from different sources, e.g., national authorities, supplier-specific emission factors, etc. The data in the table refers to the market-based approach. Location-based is 1.0 mn t.

3

Scope 3 refers to other indirect emissions that occur outside the organization, including both Upstream and Downstream emissions. We use emission factors from different sources, e.g., IPCC, PlasticsEurope, Dbeis, etc. The data includes Scope 3 emissions from the use and processing of sold products. Pure “trading margin” sales as well as intracompany sales are excluded. Since 2015, Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services and capital goods are included. Since 2018, net import of refinery feedstock is included.

4

Only EU ETS emissions from November and December included

5

Borealis Scope 3 category 15 emissions are accounted as 21.0 mn t CO2 equivalent, but not yet included in OMV’s Group consolidation.

Direct CO2 equivalent emissions produced to generate a certain business output using the following business-specific metric – Upstream: t CO2 equivalent/toe produced, refineries: t CO2 equivalent/t throughput (crude and semi-finished products without blended volumes), power: t CO2 equivalent/MWh produced – consolidated into an OMV Group Carbon Intensity Operations Index, based on weighted average of the business segments’ carbon intensity. The Carbon Intensity Index was developed in 2018.

3

The carbon intensity of energy supply is measured by assessing the intensity of their Scope 1 and 2 emissions plus Scope 3 emissions (in g CO2) from the use of sold energy products, against the total energy value of all externally sold energy products (in MJ).

The increase compared to previous years is due to the inclusion of full-year water data provided by Borealis. At Borealis, most of the water that is withdrawn is used for once-through-cooling. Around 2/3 is brackish water. The cooling water that is discharged is of the same quality and only has a very slightly elevated temperature.

2

Borealis figures are included in the total water withdrawal, water withdrawal from areas with water stress, water discharge, water discharged to areas with water stress, and water consumption, but Borealis figures are not available at a detailed level.

3

Water consumption is calculated as water withdrawal minus water discharge. The figures above might not balance as other types of water, such as rainwater, are usually not included in water withdrawal.
