Charah Solutions's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, Charah Solutions reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 35,923,000 kg CO2e. This figure reflects the company's direct greenhouse gas emissions from its operations. In 2020, the company recorded Scope 1 emissions of about 18,575,000 kg CO2e, indicating a significant increase in emissions year-on-year. Despite the lack of specific reduction targets or commitments, Charah Solutions has undertaken initiatives to reduce carbon emissions, such as the CO2 reduction efforts at the B.C. Cobb Generating Facility, which saved approximately 907,185.74 kg CO2e. Additionally, the company reported a total CO2 saving of about 2,550,000 kg CO2e from various initiatives. Charah Solutions has not disclosed any Scope 2 or Scope 3 emissions data, nor has it established any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets. The absence of these commitments suggests that while the company is engaged in emissions reduction activities, it may not yet have formalised its climate strategy in line with industry standards. Overall, Charah Solutions is actively working towards reducing its carbon footprint, but further transparency and commitment to specific reduction targets would enhance its climate strategy.
