Prologis Park Dutra RJ carries High composite water risk (60-75%) from drought and riverine flood exposure even as Brazil's already clean grid decarbonises further toward 2050.

Today

This logistics/distribution facility in Rio de Janeiro depends on grid electricity carrying a 2025 observed intensity of 109.95 gCO2/kWh (Ember Yearly Electricity 2025), making Scope 2 emissions the dominant impact pathway. Physically, the site sits in a South Atlantic watershed with Low-Medium baseline water stress (score 1.26) but an overall water risk rated High (60-75%, composite score 3.33), driven by drought risk (2.30), riverine flood exposure (2.42), and a notably high untreated wastewater score (2.81) — indicating basin-level sanitation and flood management gaps rather than acute scarcity.

Near-term · 2030

By 2030, the grid emissions factor is projected at 70 gCO2/kWh, already a marked decline from the 2025 observed value of 109.95 gCO2/kWh, meaning Scope 2 intensity for this facility should fall materially over the decade under current Brazilian policy trajectories (IEA WEO 2024 STEPS). Water-related horizon scores for 2030 are not populated in this dataset, so no forward view on water stress or depletion trajectory is available; today's High overall water risk rating and elevated wastewater and flood sub-scores should be treated as the best available baseline for near-term planning.

Long-term · 2050+

Long-term, Brazil's grid trajectory under IEA STEPS points toward 40 gCO2/kWh by 2050, reinforcing a low-carbon operating base for this logistics facility and making transition risk from Scope 2 energy largely immaterial. The residual risk picture is physical: no 2050 or 2080 water stress, depletion, or wastewater horizon data is provided in this dataset, so the facility's long-run exposure to drought intensification, riverine flooding, and wastewater infrastructure adequacy in the South Atlantic basin cannot be forecast and should be tracked as data becomes available, particularly given the already-elevated overall water risk score.

Call-outs
WATCH
Untreated wastewater pressure elevated
The untreated wastewater score of 2.81 signals meaningful sanitation infrastructure gaps in the basin that could affect discharge compliance and community relations.
RISK
High composite water risk
Overall water risk is rated High (60-75%, score 3.33) despite low baseline water stress, driven by drought (2.30) and riverine flood (2.42) sub-scores that warrant physical resilience review.
OPPORTUNITY
Grid decarbonisation halves emissions factor
Brazil's grid intensity is projected to fall from a 2030 horizon reference of 70 gCO2/kWh to 40 gCO2/kWh by 2050, materially reducing Scope 2 exposure for this logistics asset with no site-level intervention required.
WATCH
Water horizon data absent
No forward water stress or depletion horizon scores (2030/2050/2080) are populated, limiting ability to assess trajectory of physical water risk at this site.
