In 2023, Aurelia Metals, headquartered in Australia, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 66,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 24,200,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 80,400,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This reflects a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 32,900,000 kg CO2e in 2022, while Scope 2 emissions remained relatively stable, decreasing from 81,000,000 kg CO2e in the previous year. Aurelia Metals has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, nor have they set specific reduction targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company has not outlined any formal climate pledges or reduction initiatives, indicating a potential area for future commitment. The reported emissions intensity for 2023 stands at approximately 720 kg CO2e per tonne of gold equivalent produced, which is a critical metric for assessing the environmental impact of their operations. The company continues to operate within the mining sector, which is under increasing scrutiny for its carbon footprint and environmental practices. Overall, while Aurelia Metals has made some progress in managing its emissions, the absence of comprehensive reduction targets and initiatives suggests that further action may be necessary to align with industry standards and expectations for climate responsibility.
