This marked an increase in emissions compared to previous years, with 2022 emissions at approximately 29,677,000,000 kg CO2e, 2021 at about 31,300,000,000 kg CO2e, and 2020 at around 25,000,000,000 kg CO2e. Yankuang has disclosed emissions data for Scope 1 and Scope 2 but has not provided information on Scope 3 emissions. Despite the significant emissions figures, there are currently no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from the company, indicating a lack of formal commitments to reduce their carbon footprint. This context highlights the challenges faced by the coal industry in addressing climate change and the need for more robust climate action strategies.
