Electra Battery Materials's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Electra Battery Materials Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,530,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 118,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 8,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 1,403,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals major contributions from purchased goods and services (1,050,000 kg CO2e), fuel and energy-related activities (177,000 kg CO2e), and business travel (74,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2021, the company recorded total emissions of about 1,436,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 311,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 1,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 1,228,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight increase in total emissions year-on-year, primarily driven by Scope 3 emissions. Electra Battery Materials has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for further development in their sustainability approach. The company operates independently without cascading emissions data from a parent organisation, indicating that all reported figures are derived solely from its own operations.
