Arafura Resources's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Arafura Resources reported total carbon emissions of approximately 722,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 678,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and around 44,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions.

Despite the increase in emissions, Arafura Resources has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at mitigating their carbon footprint. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data suggests a limited scope of reporting, focusing primarily on direct and indirect emissions from their operations. As a company headquartered in Australia, Arafura Resources is positioned within an industry increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact, highlighting the importance of transparent climate commitments and effective emissions reduction strategies.
