Liontown Resources's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Liontown Resources reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 41,605,880 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,941,500 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and about 19,418,920 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data highlights the company's substantial carbon footprint, particularly from its operations at the Kathleen Valley Lithium Project. Over the years, Liontown's emissions have fluctuated. In 2023, the company recorded approximately 4,476,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 and 14,526,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2 emissions. The previous year, 2022, saw a reduction in both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, each at about 884,000 kg CO2e. However, in 2021, emissions were significantly lower, with both Scope 1 and Scope 2 at 195,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Liontown Resources has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company operates in a sector that is increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact, and as such, it may need to consider establishing clear climate commitments to align with industry standards and stakeholder expectations.
