China Huaneng's reported carbon emissions
In 2020, China Huaneng reported a carbon emission intensity of approximately 0.83 kg CO2e per kWh of thermal power supplied. This data reflects the company's operational impact but does not specify total emissions figures, as no Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data has been disclosed. The previous available data from 2018 indicates a plant power consumption rate of about 0.00397 kg CO2e per kWh, also without specific total emissions figures. Currently, China Huaneng has not set any formal reduction targets or climate pledges, nor are there any initiatives reported under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company does not inherit emissions data from a parent organization, as it operates independently in this context. Overall, while China Huaneng provides some insights into its carbon intensity, it lacks comprehensive emissions data and formal commitments to reduction targets, positioning it within an industry increasingly focused on climate accountability.
