In 2016, Central Térmica Loma de la Lata S.A. reported significant greenhouse gas emissions, with an intensity of approximately 3,500 kg CO2e per tonne of oil and gas produced (Scope 1) and about 5,000 kg CO2e per MWh of electricity generated (Scope 1). This data reflects the company's operational impact on climate change, although specific total emissions figures for the year are not disclosed. The company has shown a trend of decreasing emissions intensity over the years. For instance, in 2015, the emissions intensity was about 3,220 kg CO2e per tonne for upstream activities and approximately 5,180 kg CO2e per MWh for electricity production. In 2014, these figures were around 3,070 kg CO2e per tonne and 5,450 kg CO2e per MWh, respectively. This indicates a gradual improvement in emissions efficiency. Despite these reductions, Central Térmica Loma de la Lata S.A. has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it appear to have cascaded data from a parent organisation. The absence of formal commitments or targets suggests that the company may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability. Overall, while Central Térmica Loma de la Lata S.A. has made strides in reducing emissions intensity, the lack of comprehensive emissions data and formal climate commitments highlights an area for potential growth in their environmental strategy.
