Alamos Gold's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Alamos Gold reported total carbon emissions of approximately 163,051,000 kg CO2e, comprising 152,164,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 10,887,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. The company also disclosed Scope 3 emissions, which totalled about 378,960,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a significant reliance on both direct and indirect emissions sources. Over the years, Alamos Gold has shown a trend in its emissions data. For instance, in 2022, the total emissions were around 178,633,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions at 168,822,000 kg CO2e and 9,600,000 kg CO2e, respectively. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, which may limit its ability to effectively address its carbon footprint in the long term. The emissions per tonne of ore mined have varied, with figures reaching about 10 kg CO2e in 2023, while emissions per ounce of gold produced were approximately 5.64 kg CO2e. These metrics highlight the company's operational efficiency in terms of emissions relative to production. Overall, while Alamos Gold has made strides in tracking its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets may pose challenges in aligning with industry standards for climate action.
