In 2024, China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 113,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 7,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 355,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This represents a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 2023, where they were about 126,000,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions increased from 11,000,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions also decreased from 385,000,000 kg CO2e in 2023. CNNC's Scope 3 emissions breakdown for 2024 includes significant contributions from purchased goods and services (approximately 144,000,000 kg CO2e), use of sold products (about 116,000,000 kg CO2e), and fuel and energy-related activities (approximately 46,000,000 kg CO2e). Despite these emissions figures, CNNC has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or SBTi commitments. The company does not appear to inherit emissions data from a parent organization, maintaining its own reporting standards. Overall, CNNC's emissions data reflects its ongoing operations and highlights the need for future commitments to reduce its carbon footprint in alignment with global climate goals.
