SunCoke Energy's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, SunCoke Energy reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 4,500,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 140,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This indicates a significant carbon footprint, primarily from direct operations and energy consumption. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. In 2021, the emissions were similar, with approximately 4,200,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 130,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This trend suggests a relatively stable emission profile over the years, with a Scope 1 GHG intensity of about 780.18 tonnes CO2e per tonne of coke produced reported in 2023. Despite the substantial emissions figures, SunCoke Energy has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets indicates a potential area for improvement in their sustainability strategy. Overall, while the company is actively reporting its emissions, further commitments to reduce its carbon footprint would align with industry standards and expectations for climate action.
