Hitachi Energy: USD 300 million in shared Scope 3 investments

Emissions Insetting could unlock over $300 million in shared investments for Hitachi Energy while cutting up to 500 kt CO2e annually across their supply chain. That's real progress in turning Scope 3 emissions into collaborative opportunities.

Hitachi Energy's Sustainability Report 2025 shows strong advances: a 75% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions since 2019, a 78% drop in SF6 gases, and 65% of energy from renewables. But Scope 3s have only achieved a 32% intensity reduction.

This mirrors broader industry issues: embodied GHGs in trade average 1.5-6.4 tons per capita, and in high-emission OECD countries, per capita CO2 exceeds 14 tons against a global average of 4.2 tons. Financing gaps for net-zero transitions slow value chain decarbonization, where indirect emissions often dwarf direct operations.

Carbon insetting addresses this by investing directly in verifiable reductions within the value chain Unlike offsets it builds shared incentives: buyers co-finance project owners' Scope 1 reductions and claim them against their Scope 3 footprint (post-verification). This de-risks high-impact projects like green hydrogen derivatives or sustainable materials, using pre-sold credits to send clear market signals.

C3 simplifies issuing and trading inset credits, enabling multi-stakeholder co-financing. The results? Not just emissions cuts, but cost savings in critical areas, stronger supply chain resilience, improved ESG performance, and accelerated progress toward net-zero by 2050. By focusing on collaborative investments, we're creating measurable value for all involved.

We're committed to these partnerships for a sustainable energy future. If you're leading in energy, manufacturing, or materials, let's discuss how insetting can optimize your Scope 3 strategy. Reach out to learn more at https://www.carbon3.net/.
