How it's allowed

Signals below are derived from emissions data and ownership coverage only — not from any legal or regulatory finding.

Permitted Emissions
These emissions appear to occur under existing permits and regulations. Operating legally is not the same as operating cleanly.
Fossil-Fuel Power Generation
Attributed emissions include fossil-fuel power generation, which is among the most carbon-intensive ways to produce electricity.
No Verified Enforcement or Lobbying Record
This dataset contains no verified enforcement actions, lobbying records, subsidies, or litigation for this entity. Absence of evidence here is not evidence of compliance or of any violation.

Climate Villains makes no claim that any entity has broken any law. These are data-derived signals, not allegations.

Trend
Not enough historyn/a

Not enough history to chart a trend yet.

We don't yet have enough years of attributed data to judge the direction. Attributed emissions.

It ranks #1310 mainly because its attributed assets emitted about 788.4 kt CO₂e in 2024 (≈ 171k cars/yr).

The Climate Damage Score is driven by that absolute size on a log scale, with no trend adjustment applied.

What we know · what we don't

What we know

  • Attributed emissions: 788.4 kt CO₂e in 2024 (≈ 171k cars/yr).
  • Primary sector: Power; primary country: Germany.
  • Evidence: 1 asset; ~100% ownership-attribution coverage.
  • Source: Climate TRACE (CC BY 4.0).

What we don’t

  • Exact ownership percentages — Climate TRACE lists owners but not stakes, so shared assets are split equally.
  • Indirect (supply-chain / financed / product-use) emissions are not included.
  • Only one year of attributed data is available, so the trend is not yet reliable.
  • No PR claims, lobbying records, litigation history or policy-compliance data are included.
