China Coal Energy's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, China Coal Energy reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 37,120,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 9,780,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 46,900,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a continued reliance on fossil fuels, particularly coal, which is central to their operations. Over the past few years, emissions have fluctuated, with 2022 emissions recorded at about 36,470,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 9,860,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 46,330,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. In 2021, emissions peaked with Scope 1 at approximately 39,000,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 9,830,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 48,830,000,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, China Coal Energy has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a lack of formalised climate commitments, which is critical in the context of global climate action. The company operates within an industry that is under increasing pressure to transition towards more sustainable practices, yet their current emissions data indicates a substantial challenge in achieving significant reductions.
