In 2023, Liontown Resources reported significant carbon emissions, with Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 4,476,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 14,526,000 kg CO2e. This marked a notable increase in emissions compared to previous years, particularly from 2022, where Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions were both around 884,000 kg CO2e. In 2024, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 41,605,880 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of about 1,941,500 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching approximately 19,418,920 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial rise in emissions, particularly in Scope 1, which is primarily associated with direct emissions from their operations. Despite these figures, Liontown Resources has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the industry context, particularly as global pressures for sustainability and emissions reductions continue to grow. Overall, Liontown Resources's emissions data highlights the challenges faced in managing carbon outputs, underscoring the importance of developing robust climate strategies moving forward.
