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 indicates 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 were notably higher, with Scope 1 at approximately 39,000,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 at about 48,830,000,000 kg CO2e, reflecting the company's substantial carbon footprint. Despite these figures, China Coal Energy has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of commitment raises concerns about the company's long-term sustainability and alignment with global climate goals. Overall, while China Coal Energy continues to operate as a major player in the coal industry, its emissions data highlights the urgent need for enhanced climate commitments and strategies to mitigate its environmental impact.
