SunCoke Energy's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, SunCoke Energy reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4,500,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 140,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This indicates a significant carbon footprint primarily from direct operations and energy consumption. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. In 2021, the emissions were similar, with approximately 4,200,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 130,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, showing a slight increase in Scope 1 emissions year-on-year. The GHG intensity for coke production was reported at about 900 kg CO2e per tonne in 2022, reflecting the company's operational efficiency in relation to its output. Despite these figures, SunCoke Energy has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor has it participated in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate action within the organisation. Overall, while SunCoke Energy's emissions data highlights the scale of its carbon output, the lack of defined reduction targets indicates an opportunity for the company to strengthen its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
