In 2022, Huaneng Power International reported significant carbon emissions, with Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 363,277,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 257,800,000 kg CO2e. The previous year, 2021, saw Scope 1 emissions slightly higher at around 376,100,500,000 kg CO2e, indicating a reduction in emissions year-on-year. However, there is no available data for 2023 emissions. The company has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, suggesting a lack of formal commitments to reduce emissions in the near future. Huaneng Power International's emissions primarily stem from stationary combustion processes, reflecting its reliance on coal for thermal power generation. Overall, while there has been a slight decrease in emissions from 2021 to 2022, the absence of clear reduction targets raises questions about the company's long-term climate strategy and commitment to sustainability.
