KIOCL's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, KIOCL Limited reported total carbon emissions of approximately 98,743,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 75,632,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This represents a significant increase in emissions compared to 2023, where Scope 1 emissions were about 58,729,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 74,769,000 kg CO2e. The total emissions for 2023 were thus about 133,498,000 kg CO2e. KIOCL has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a focus primarily on direct and indirect emissions from their operations. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, which suggests a need for further commitment to climate action. The emissions intensity for KIOCL's operations in 2024 was reported at 91.5 kg CO2e per tonne of iron pellets produced, slightly up from 88.4 kg CO2e per tonne in 2023. This indicates a trend that may require strategic interventions to improve efficiency and reduce overall emissions. KIOCL's headquarters is located in India, and while they have made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of comprehensive reduction targets highlights an area for potential growth in their climate commitments.
