Germany – Uniper unveiled their Climate Transition Plan to accelerate the transformation into a greener company. Carbon neutrality across the entire value chain will be achieved by 2040. For the scope 1 and 2 emissions specifically, carbon neutrality is planned already by 2035.
Key pillar is the transformation of Uniper´s portfolio. This includes phasing out its coal-based power generation, investing into renewables, converting a significant part of its 8.5 gigawatt (GW) gas-fired capacity to hydrogen, biofuels or CCS/CCU, and engaging into respective new-build opportunities for new hydrogen-ready power plants.
Uniper will also gradually transform its commodity portfolio by increasing the share of greener gases over time, developing own hydrogen production, and expanding its commercial activity in the field of renewable PPA (Power Purchase Agreements).
A key aspect of Uniper’s decarbonization strategy is the repurposing of existing power-plant sites for a sustainable economy. Uniper engages in effective dialogue and stakeholder engagement to support employees and communities affected by the company’s transition.
