China Huaneng's reported carbon emissions
In 2020, China Huaneng reported a carbon emission intensity of approximately 0.83 kg CO2e per kWh for its thermal power supply. This figure reflects the company's ongoing reliance on fossil fuels, particularly coal, for energy production. The previous years also show significant carbon emission intensities, with 2019 reporting about 0.64 kg CO2e per kWh and 2018 at approximately 0.00397 kg CO2e per kWh for plant power consumption. Currently, China Huaneng has not disclosed specific targets for reducing its carbon emissions, nor has it committed to any science-based targets (SBTi). The absence of detailed emissions data across Scope 1, 2, and 3 indicates a lack of transparency in their overall carbon footprint. As the company continues to operate in a carbon-intensive industry, its climate commitments and reduction initiatives remain unclear, highlighting a potential area for improvement in sustainability practices.
