China Molybdenum's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, China Molybdenum reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,590,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 1,070,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 520,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marked an increase from the previous year, 2022, when total emissions were about 1,320,000,000 kg CO2e. Over the years, emissions have fluctuated, with 2021 seeing total emissions of about 920,000,000 kg CO2e and 2020 at approximately 1,030,000,000 kg CO2e. The company has disclosed emissions data for Scope 1 and Scope 2, but there are no specific targets or commitments outlined for emissions reduction, nor any climate pledges reported. China Molybdenum's emissions intensity has remained consistent, with an intensity of about 28.0 tonnes CO2e per tonne of processed ore across various years. The absence of formal reduction targets or initiatives suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments in line with industry standards.

The carbon intensity of the energy grid powering a company's primary operations has a strong influence on its overall carbon footprint. China Molybdenum is headquartered in CN, which we do not have grid emissions data for.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks

Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.

China Molybdenum is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
