In 2021, Qatar Steel reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 958,403,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 591,301,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 367,102,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marked a significant reduction from 2020, where total emissions were about 1,140,499,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 683,740,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at about 456,759,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, nor have they set specific reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Their climate commitments appear limited, with no documented reduction initiatives or climate pledges available. Qatar Steel's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Qatar Steel Company (Q.P.S.C.), and is influenced by the broader corporate family relationship with Industries Qatar Q.P.S.C. This context highlights the company's position within a larger framework of industrial emissions, particularly in the iron and steel sector, where the GHG intensity for crude production is reported at about 1,340 kg CO2e per tonne. Overall, while Qatar Steel has made strides in reducing emissions over recent years, further transparency and commitment to specific climate targets would enhance their sustainability profile.
