MetricEnergy consumption and source mix

Non-renewable energy consumption in own operations

Measurement answer

What this metric measures

Non-renewable energy consumption in own operations is final energy consumed by owned or controlled operations from fossil and nuclear sources during the reporting period, with source and carrier components kept visible.

Reporting boundary

Final energy consumed by processes the reporting entity owns or controls, aligned with the stated Scope 1 and Scope 2 perimeter. Non-combusted feedstocks are excluded, onsite energy sold is not netted, and fuel used for self-generation is counted once.

Unit meaning: This metric is reported as a structured table; each field carries the unit stated in the table fields below.

Table fields and units

  • Fossil or nuclear source class and detailed source or fuel
  • Carrier, origin, activity, facility, country and sector
  • Energy consumed (MWh — megawatt-hours of final energy consumed; 1 MWh = 1,000 kWh)
  • Fuel conversion-factor source and lower-heating-value or net-calorific basis
  • Reporting period, method edition and missing-value reason

Published dimensions

  • Non-renewable energy-consumption row
  • Fossil or nuclear source class
  • Detailed source or fuel
  • Fuel, electricity, heat, steam or cooling carrier
  • Purchased, acquired or self-generated origin
  • Activity, facility and country
  • High climate impact sector
  • Conversion-factor source and calorific basis
  • Reporting method edition

No single formula

Populate the structured fields from qualifying source observations and retain each field-level unit, boundary, status, and method; do not collapse the disclosure into one calculated value.

Verified sources

Evidence and status sources

Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Interpretation boundaries

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: Binding Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2772 consolidated 1 January 2025, ESRS E1-5 paragraphs 35-38 and AR32-35; the July 2026 annex and GRI 103: Energy 2025 are compatibility evidence only.

  • Fossil or nuclear class and detailed source or fuel
  • Energy carrier and purchased, acquired or self-generated origin
  • Final energy consumed in MWh, spelled out as megawatt-hours of final energy
  • Fuel-specific conversion-factor source and lower-heating-value or net-calorific basis
  • Activity, facility, country and high climate impact sector
  • Reporting period, operating boundary and method edition
  • Double-count control for fuel used in self-generation
  • Unavailable and unclassified values with reasons, never silently represented as zero

Record-specific limitations

  • Non-renewable is not synonymous with fossil because nuclear remains a separate non-renewable component.
  • Source classification, fuel conversion factors and calorific basis can materially affect comparability.
  • Final energy cannot be combined with primary-energy input or non-combusted feedstocks.
  • Fuel used to generate internally consumed energy must not be counted again as generated-energy consumption.

Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.

Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
