This includes about 5,670,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and about 333,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. The majority of their emissions, approximately 139,000,000,000 kg CO2e, fall under Scope 3, which encompasses all other indirect emissions that occur in a company’s value chain. Despite the substantial emissions figures, Arch Resources has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. As a major player in the resources sector, Arch Resources is positioned to influence broader climate strategies and should consider establishing measurable goals to align with global climate commitments.
