Intrepid Potash-Moab has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The company does not report Scope 3 emissions, which may indicate a focus on direct and indirect emissions from its operations and energy use. The emissions data is sourced directly from Intrepid Potash, Inc., with no cascading from a parent or related organization. The company’s emissions intensity for Scope 2 per tonne of potash and Trio® produced in New Mexico is reported at about 160 kg CO2e, while for Wendover, it is approximately 290 kg CO2e. These figures highlight the operational emissions efficiency in their production processes. Overall, while Intrepid Potash-Moab has made strides in tracking its emissions, the absence of reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate action.
