In 2023, Allkem reported total carbon emissions of approximately 134,700,000 kg CO2e, encompassing Scope 1 and 2 emissions. This figure reflects the company's operational impact and is part of its commitment to addressing climate change. In the previous year, 2022, Allkem's emissions were approximately 120,708,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 119,700,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 82,000,000 kg CO2e. Allkem's emissions intensity for its Olaroz Lithium Facility was reported at about 2,220 kg CO2e per tonne, while the Mt Cattlin spodumene concentrate had an emissions intensity of approximately 200 kg CO2e per tonne. Despite these figures, Allkem has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, indicating a potential area for future commitment. The emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Arcadium Lithium plc, reflecting a corporate family relationship. Allkem operates as a current subsidiary of Allkem Pty Ltd, which is part of a broader commitment to sustainability within the lithium industry. The absence of specific reduction targets suggests that while Allkem is tracking its emissions, it may need to establish clearer climate commitments moving forward.
