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 emissions and about 520,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marked an increase from 2022, where total emissions were about 1,320,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 760,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at about 560,000,000 kg CO2e. Over the years, emissions have fluctuated, with 2020 seeing total emissions of about 1,030,000,000 kg CO2e and 2021 at approximately 920,000,000 kg CO2e. The company has disclosed emissions data for Scope 1 and Scope 2 but has not provided information on Scope 3 emissions. Despite the significant emissions figures, China Molybdenum has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further development in their climate strategy. The company operates within the mining and metals industry, which is under increasing pressure to enhance sustainability practices and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
