Rentech Incorporation's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, Rentech Incorporation reported no specific carbon emissions data, indicating a lack of disclosed Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures. The company has not set any documented reduction targets or climate pledges, which suggests a limited commitment to formal climate initiatives at this time. The emissions data available from previous years shows a trend in electricity-related emissions factors, with values of approximately 0.587 kg CO2e/kWh in 2017, decreasing to about 0.47 kg CO2e/kWh in 2021. However, these figures do not represent absolute emissions totals, as no specific emissions data has been disclosed. Rentech Incorporation does not inherit emissions data from any parent company, and there are no cascading targets from related organisations. The absence of concrete emissions data and reduction commitments places Rentech in a challenging position within the industry regarding climate accountability and sustainability efforts.
