Allkem's reported carbon emissions
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, with a notable emissions intensity of about 3,350 kg CO2e per tonne of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) produced. In the previous year, 2022, Allkem's emissions were approximately 120,708,000 kg CO2e, which included about 119,700,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 82,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This indicates a significant operational footprint, with emissions intensity values of approximately 2,220 kg CO2e per tonne for the Olaroz Lithium Facility and 200 kg CO2e per tonne for Mt Cattlin spodumene concentrate. Despite these figures, Allkem has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The company is a current subsidiary of Allkem Pty Ltd, with emissions data cascaded from its parent company, Arcadium Lithium plc, at a cascade level of 1. Additionally, the company is linked to broader climate initiatives through its relationship with Rio Tinto Group, which influences its climate strategy at a cascade level of 2. Overall, while Allkem has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate strategy.
