Greenhouse Gas Balance myonic
As part of the “Climate-Neutral Allgäu” climate alliance, we continue to pursue the goal of climate neutrality by 2030. This also includes the annual preparation of a greenhouse gas balance.
In the 2023/24 fiscal year, greenhouse gas emissions amounted to 988 tons of CO2, which is 278 tons of CO2 (or 22%) lower than the previous year. This corresponds to approximately 1.8 tons of CO2 equivalents per employee (previous year: 2.3 tons CO2, base year 2020/2021: 2.5 tons CO2).
The significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is primarily attributable to:
Major Emission Factor: Commuter Mobility
The greenhouse gas emissions caused by commuter mobility are identical to those reported in the last survey at the end of 2021. The medium- and long-term reduction of these emissions poses a significant challenge for the company.
Compensation through Climate Certificates
To achieve climate neutrality by 2030, an annual reduction in emissions by 11% is necessary. Emissions exceeding the target value will be compensated by purchasing climate certificates. For the 2023/24 fiscal year, this means compensating 142 tons of CO2. myonic has chosen to support the “Clean Water in Uganda” project.
Climate Certificate “Clean Water in Uganda”
The main goal of this climate protection program is to supply poorer households and institutions, such as schools in Uganda, with new technologies to purify drinking water. The resulting reduced consumption of non-renewable firewood and charcoal decreases CO2 emissions and positively impacts the living conditions and health of thousands of people. Additionally, natural forest ecosystems are protected and preserved.

40% of the compensation payment goes to environmental protection projects in the region, aiming to raise awareness of biodiversity, species diversity, environmental and climate protection, as well as the appreciation of regional food. Current projects in the Allgäu Climate Fund include reforestation projects, bee barns, flowering meadows, and a mountain forest project.
Outlook for the 2024/25 Fiscal Year
Further reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 11% means that the target for the 2024/25 fiscal year is 704 tons of CO2. By connecting to the district heating network of the city of Leutkirch, we can avoid an additional 90% of heating-related emissions (Scope 1) in the upcoming heating season of 2024/2025, bringing us significantly closer to achieving climate neutrality by 2030.
