BHP - BHP Group Anticipates Uptick In 2024 Carbon Emissions Remains Committed To 30% Reduction By 2030 | Benzinga
The leading global miner, BHP Group Ltd (NYSE:BHP), has announced an anticipated increase in operational carbon emissions for 2024. Vice President for Climate Graham Winkleman revealed the news during an investor briefing on Wednesday. Despite this setback, BHP remains committed to reducing its operational greenhouse gas emissions by at least 30% from 2020 levels by 2030.
“We’re seeing emissions rise due to organic growth,” Winkelman noted. “As we dig deeper to maintain production levels, the ore we extract has lower metal content, requiring more activity and consequently more diesel consumption," he said, as reported by Reuters.
