Hotai Motor's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Hotai Motor reported total carbon emissions of approximately 39,119,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were about 133,400 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 1,321,600 kg CO2e. The majority of emissions, approximately 37,919,000 kg CO2e, fell under Scope 3, which includes indirect emissions from the supply chain and product use. Over the past few years, Hotai Motor has shown a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 37,790,000 kg CO2e, indicating a slight increase in emissions from 2021, where total emissions were approximately 38,678,000 kg CO2e. However, the company has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, which may limit its ability to demonstrate a clear trajectory towards significant emissions reductions. The emissions intensity per capita at Hotai Motor's headquarters was reported at about 1,330 kg CO2e in 2020, with a slight increase to approximately 1,330 kg CO2e in 2021. The emissions intensity at the Yangmei facility was approximately 8,860 kg CO2e per tonne in 2020, reflecting the company's operational impact. Overall, while Hotai Motor has made strides in tracking its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for more robust climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability.
