Yancoal's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Yancoal reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,136,653,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions accounting for about 1,860,030,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 276,623,000 kg CO2e. This represents a slight decrease from 2022, where total emissions were around 2,367,913,000 kg CO2e. Over the years, Yancoal's emissions have fluctuated, with total emissions peaking at about 2,114,527,000 kg CO2e in 2018. The company has made efforts to manage its carbon footprint, with Scope 1 emissions primarily arising from mobile and stationary combustion, as well as fugitive emissions. Despite these figures, Yancoal has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon emissions. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not have formalised commitments to reduce them in line with industry standards or climate pledges. Yancoal's emissions intensity has varied, with reported figures indicating a trend towards improved efficiency in recent years. The company continues to operate within the coal industry, which faces increasing scrutiny regarding its environmental impact and carbon emissions.
