China Huaneng's reported carbon emissions
In 2020, China Huaneng reported carbon emissions data indicating a carbon emission intensity of approximately 0.83 kg CO2e per kWh for thermal power supply. This figure reflects the company's ongoing reliance on fossil fuels, particularly coal, for energy production. The previous years' data also highlight significant carbon emission intensities, with 0.29755 kg CO2e per kWh for coal consumption in 2019 and 0.64 kg CO2e per kWh for full-coverage carbon emissions in the same year. As of now, China Huaneng has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or any other formal climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced commitment to climate action, particularly in light of the global push for decarbonisation. The emissions data is sourced directly from China Huaneng Group Co., Ltd., with no cascaded data from parent or related organisations. The company operates within a challenging industry context, where transitioning to lower carbon energy sources is critical for meeting international climate goals.
