The facility's dominant dependency is grid electricity and water for cooling, with Scope 2 emissions the primary impact channel — Peru's grid currently emits 238.25 gCO2/kWh (Ember 2025 observed). Physically, the Lima site sits in a watershed (South Pacific ex 344/378/379/380) with an Extremely High baseline water stress label (BWS score 5, >80%), water depletion scored 4.03/5, and riverine flood risk elevated at 3.76/5, though coastal flood exposure is negligible (0). Overall local physical risk is rated Medium-High (score 2.6, 50-60% band).

By 2030, IEA WEO STEPS projects Peru's grid intensity falling steeply to 130 gCO2/kWh — a roughly 45% reduction from 2025 observed levels — meaningfully de-risking the Scope 2 footprint tied to this facility's energy dependency. Water-related forward-looking scores (2030 water demand and stress horizons) are not populated in this dataset, so the current Extremely High baseline stress rating should be treated as the operative near-term physical risk signal absent updated projections.

The decarbonisation trajectory continues to 2050, with grid intensity projected at 50 gCO2/kWh — an 80% reduction versus 2025 — pointing to a well-decarbonised national grid by mid-century under current STEPS assumptions. No 2080 grid or water horizon data is available to assess residual long-run risk, but absent grid decarbonisation of water-related exposure, the structural water stress and riverine flood exposure in this Lima watershed are physical constraints unlikely to resolve on their own and warrant site-level water risk monitoring independent of the energy transition story.
