China Yangtze Power's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, China Yangtze Power reported total carbon emissions of approximately 35,547,740 kg CO2e, which includes 1,715,590 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 33,757,450 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. Additionally, the company disclosed Scope 3 emissions amounting to about 35,500,000 kg CO2e. This data indicates a significant carbon footprint, particularly from Scope 2 emissions, which are primarily associated with the electricity purchased and consumed by the company. Comparatively, in 2022, the total emissions were approximately 21,517,090 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 1,633,570 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 19,849,800 kg CO2e. Notably, there is no reported data for Scope 3 emissions for that year. Despite the substantial emissions figures, China Yangtze Power has not outlined specific reduction targets or initiatives in their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced focus on sustainability practices and emissions management within the organisation.
