GHG emissions and Carbon intensity

Rio Tinto reported Total CO2e Emissions - Location-Based Scope 1 + Scope 2 for the twelve months ending 31 December 2021 at 31,100 Kt (-400 /-1.3% y-o-y). Also positively, carbon intensity tumbled to 490 t (-216 /-30.6% y-o-y).

Rio Tinto's Scope 3 emissions decreased to 553,500 Kt (-16,500 /-2.9% y-o-y). The parameter has been fairly volatile.

The company is committed to reducing Scope 1 + 2 by 15% by 2025 from a base year 2018, which translates into the estimated reduction of -550 Kt per annum over the period of FY2022 - FY2025. This target, however, has not been recognised as science-based (and as aligned with Paris Agreement) by the SBTi.

Also, the company commits to achieving net zero for all Scopes by 2050, which translates into the estimated reduction of -20,159 Kt per annum over the period of FY2022 - FY2050. This target, however, has not been recognised as science-based (and as aligned with Paris Agreement) by the SBTi.
