Our Overall Environmental Impact – Greenhouse Gas Emissions Data

  • 160,276 tons

    of CO2e emissions prevented in 2023, representing a prevention-to-emissions ratio of over 1000.

  • 210 tons of CO2e

    emissions generated directly and indirectly in Scopes 1 and 2 in 2023

  • 11,689,734 tons of CO2e

    estimated emissions savings for the years 2024-2030

The Company’s approach is to minimize and mitigate the environmental impacts resulting from its activities while promoting and implementing advanced technologies that benefit the environment by reducing emissions and lowering the carbon footprint.

The operation of renewable energy facilities and company offices represents the majority of our Scope1 1 and 2 emissions. With the significant growth of the Company’s activities, there is a need to measure and update the baseline emission values caused by our activities and supply chain. However, it is important to emphasize that the Company’s assets continue to provide significant carbon emissions savings for our customers as consumers of renewable energy. In 2023, Doral prevented 160,276 tons of CO2 emissions, compared to the 210 tons of CO2 emissions generated by its activities directly and indirectly in Scopes 1 and 2, representing a prevention-to-emissions ratio of over one thousand.

Energy Consumption and Carbon Emissions

Fuel Consumption (in liters)202020212022*2023
Gasoline consumption for transportation27,59843,51950,32264,354
Diesel fuel consumption for transportation 01,9832,818713

Project managers and other employees of the Company are provided with company vehicles as part of their role, which is used for day-to-day operations. Currently, most of the Company’s cars are hybrid vehicles. In the future, Doral plans to transition to electric vehicles to further reduce fuel consumption.

Doral’s Carbon Footprint for 2020-2023
1 Emissions from fuel energy consumption for travel. 2 Energy consumption from the electric company serving the Company's facilities for the operation of solar installations and company offices (including in the U.S. in 2023). 3 Emissions resulting from indirect activities, including emissions from the production of panels (based on Ecoinvent database), emissions from significant suppliers (as declared in a supplier assessment conducted in 2022 and 2023), flights, water consumption, wastewater treatment, and landfill of panel waste. These emissions fall under categories 1, 5, and 6 according to the GHG Protocol.
*The data includes Doral's activities in the U.S. but does not include its activity in Europe due to immaterial activity in relation to emissions (electricity and fuel consumption).

Emissions from fuel energy consumption for travel.

Energy consumption from the electric company serving the Company’s facilities for the operation of solar installations and company offices (including in the U.S. in 2022).

*Emissions resulting from indirect activities, including emissions from the production of panels (based on Ecoinvent database), emissions from significant suppliers (as declared in a supplier assessment conducted in 2022), flights, water consumption, wastewater treatment, and landfill of panel waste. These emissions fall under categories 1, 5, and 6 according to the GHG Protocol.
