As of the latest available data, China Huaneng has not disclosed specific carbon emissions figures for the years 2018 to 2020. The company has reported various carbon emission intensities related to its power supply, such as 0.64 kg CO2e/kWh in 2019 and 0.83 kg CO2e/kWh in 2020, but no absolute emissions data in kg CO2e has been provided. China Huaneng has not set specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) nor has it outlined any formal climate pledges. This lack of disclosed reduction initiatives suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. In the context of the energy sector, where carbon emissions are a critical concern, China Huaneng's future commitments and actions will be essential in addressing climate change and aligning with global sustainability goals.
