In 2023, Consol Energy reported total carbon emissions of approximately 69,980,000 kg CO2e, comprising 6,612,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 386,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 59,280,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a continued reliance on fossil fuels, particularly coal, as indicated by their significant Scope 3 emissions. Over the years, Consol Energy has seen fluctuations in its emissions. For instance, in 2022, the company emitted about 61,480,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 5,778,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 371,000 kg CO2e. The trend shows a gradual increase in emissions from 2011, when total emissions were approximately 15,461,000 kg CO2e, primarily driven by coal production. Despite these figures, Consol Energy has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may reflect the broader challenges faced by the fossil fuel industry in transitioning to lower-carbon operations. Overall, while Consol Energy continues to operate within the fossil fuel sector, its emissions data highlights the need for enhanced climate commitments and strategies to mitigate its environmental impact.
