China Huaneng's reported carbon emissions
As of the latest available data, China Huaneng has not disclosed specific carbon emissions figures for the years 2019 and 2020. However, the company has reported carbon emission intensities related to its thermal power supply. In 2019, the carbon emission intensity was approximately 0.64 kg CO2e per kWh, while in 2020, it increased to about 0.83 kg CO2e per kWh. China Huaneng has not set specific reduction targets or disclosed any significant climate commitments, indicating a potential area for improvement in their sustainability strategy. The absence of detailed emissions data, particularly in Scope 1, 2, and 3 categories, suggests that the company may need to enhance its transparency and reporting practices regarding carbon emissions. Overall, while China Huaneng operates in a sector with substantial carbon footprints, its current lack of defined reduction initiatives and commitments may hinder its ability to effectively address climate change challenges.
