China Huaneng's reported carbon emissions
As of the latest available data, China Huaneng's carbon emissions for 2020 indicate a carbon emission intensity of approximately 0.83 kg CO2e per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for thermal power supply. This represents a significant metric for understanding the company's impact on climate change, although specific total emissions figures are not provided. In 2019, the company reported a carbon emission intensity of about 0.64 kg CO2e per kWh for power supply. This suggests a potential increase in carbon intensity from 2019 to 2020, highlighting the challenges faced in reducing emissions in the energy sector. Currently, there are no publicly stated reduction targets or commitments from China Huaneng, nor are there any initiatives listed under frameworks such as the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). This lack of formal commitments may reflect broader industry trends, where many energy companies are under pressure to enhance their climate strategies amidst global calls for reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Overall, while China Huaneng's carbon intensity figures provide insight into their operational emissions, the absence of specific reduction targets indicates a need for clearer climate commitments moving forward.
