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 compared to 2022, where they were approximately 32,900,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions remained relatively stable at about 81,000,000 kg CO2e. Aurelia Metals has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a potential area for future reporting and improvement. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, which suggests that their climate commitments may currently be limited. The emissions intensity for 2022 was reported at approximately 580 kg CO2e per ounce of gold equivalent produced, highlighting the company's operational impact on greenhouse gas emissions. As the mining industry faces increasing scrutiny regarding environmental sustainability, Aurelia Metals may benefit from establishing clear reduction targets and enhancing transparency in their climate commitments.
