In 2024, Vulcan Energy Resources reported total carbon emissions of approximately 155,021,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 1,264,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 22,958,000 kg CO2e, and a significant contribution from Scope 3 emissions, which totalled around 130,075,000 kg CO2e. Vulcan's commitment to sustainability is evident in its integrated renewable energy and lithium projects, which aim to reduce the carbon footprint associated with lithium extraction and processing. Notably, the company has reported a net reduction of about 2,000 tonnes CO2e from its integrated renewable energy and ZERO CARBON LITHIUM Project, alongside a net reduction of approximately 8,900 tonnes CO2e from geothermal brine extraction and energy production. Despite these efforts, Vulcan has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of detailed reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to measurable climate action. Overall, Vulcan Energy Resources is actively working towards reducing its carbon emissions, particularly through innovative projects in renewable energy and lithium production, while continuing to assess and report its environmental impact.
