Additionally, the company disclosed Scope 3 emissions of about 10,040,867,850 kg CO2e, primarily from purchased goods and services. The total emissions for Scope 1 and 2 combined reached approximately 19,134,000,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, emissions were slightly lower, with total emissions of about 10,230,711,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3, alongside 10,226,674,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 4,037,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, leading to a combined total of approximately 17,640,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2. China Shenhua has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, indicating a lack of formalised strategies for emissions reduction. The company has disclosed emissions data across all three scopes, reflecting a comprehensive approach to tracking its carbon footprint. However, without defined reduction targets, the effectiveness of its climate strategy remains unclear.
