The Scope 3 emissions were primarily driven by purchased goods and services (1,050,000 kg CO2e) and fuel and energy-related activities (177,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2021, the company recorded total emissions of about 1,455,000 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. Electra Battery Materials has disclosed emissions across all three scopes but has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The company continues to monitor and report its emissions, aligning with industry standards for transparency and accountability in climate action.
