Scope 2 emissions were significantly lower, at around 17,000 kg CO2e. For the following year, 2024, total emissions increased to approximately 92,474,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions rising to about 92,461,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions decreasing to approximately 13,000 kg CO2e. Despite the increase in total emissions from 2023 to 2024, Capricorn Metals has not publicly disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate commitments or science-based targets suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. As the mining industry faces increasing scrutiny regarding environmental impacts, Capricorn Metals will need to consider establishing clear climate commitments to align with industry standards and stakeholder expectations.
