China Huaneng's reported carbon emissions
As of the latest available data, China Huaneng has not disclosed specific carbon emissions figures for the years 2018 to 2020. However, the company has reported carbon emission intensity metrics related to its power supply. In 2019, the full-coverage carbon emission intensity for power supply was approximately 0.64 kg CO2e per kWh, and in 2020, the carbon emission intensity of thermal power supply was about 0.83 kg CO2e per kWh. Despite the absence of detailed emissions data, China Huaneng has not set specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other frameworks. This indicates a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy, as the company navigates the global push for enhanced transparency and accountability in carbon emissions. Overall, while China Huaneng is engaged in the energy sector, its climate commitments and specific emissions data remain limited, highlighting the need for more robust reporting and ambitious reduction initiatives in line with industry standards.
