Liontown Resources's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Liontown Resources reported significant carbon emissions, with Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 4,476,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions reaching about 14,526,000 kg CO2e. This marked a notable increase in emissions compared to previous years, particularly from 2022, where both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions were around 884,000 kg CO2e each. In 2024, the company anticipates further emissions, with Scope 1 emissions projected at approximately 41,605,880 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 1,941,500 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions estimated at around 19,418,920 kg CO2e. This indicates a substantial rise in Scope 1 emissions, primarily attributed to operations at the Kathleen Valley Lithium Project. 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 within the mining sector, which is under increasing scrutiny for its environmental impact, particularly regarding carbon emissions. As such, ongoing monitoring and potential future commitments to reduce emissions may be essential for aligning with industry standards and stakeholder expectations.
