This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 9,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 128,000 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions amounting to around 21,755,000 kg CO2e. The previous year, 2022, saw total emissions of about 2,775,670 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 24,500 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 128,060 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching around 2,623,110 kg CO2e. Vulcan Energy Resources has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The company does not appear to have inherited emissions data from a parent organisation, and all reported figures are sourced directly from Vulcan Energy Resources Limited. The absence of a structured climate pledge or SBTi targets indicates a need for further development in their climate strategy. Overall, Vulcan Energy Resources is actively engaged in monitoring its carbon footprint, but further commitments and reduction strategies would enhance its climate action profile.
