Charah Solutions's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Charah Solutions reported carbon emissions of approximately 18,575,000 kg CO2e, all of which were classified under Scope 1 emissions. This figure reflects a significant reduction from 2021, where emissions were about 35,923,000 kg CO2e, also solely from Scope 1. The company maintained the same level of emissions in 2020, with 18,575,000 kg CO2e. Despite these fluctuations, Charah Solutions has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company has, however, engaged in various projects aimed at reducing carbon emissions, such as the B.C. Cobb Generating Facility, which reportedly saved approximately 907,185 kg CO2e from entering the atmosphere in 2021, alongside a total of about 2,550,000 kg CO2e saved from other initiatives. Overall, while Charah Solutions has demonstrated some progress in emissions reduction, the lack of formalised climate commitments or targets suggests an opportunity for further enhancement of their sustainability strategy.
