We acknowledge the world is pursuing a transition to a decarbonised economy over the coming decades.

Demand for electricity is growing and we expect coal to remain a key source of reliable and secure energy even as the world’s energy mix evolves.

We believe companies that responsibly manage impacts on the environment, people and communities are the most appropriate operators to continue to produce coal as the transition occurs.

Greenhouse gas emissions

New Hope reports on emissions, energy consumption and energy production to the Clean Energy Regulator annually, in accordance with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) Scheme. This includes recording and disclosing our Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on an operational control basis. We also estimate Scope 3 emissions as outlined in our Sustainability Report. For the most recent years’ reporting, see our Sustainability Report and data tables.

Decarbonisation

Decarbonisation presents a significant challenge for our business, as well as opportunities. Our emissions reduction trajectory is unlikely to be linear, reflecting the time and investment required to plan and implement large-scale emissions reduction initiatives, and that some measures will require sectoral or industry changes that are beyond New Hope’s control. Nonetheless, we will work to reduce operational emissions as required by state and federal governments. For more, see our latest Sustainability Report.
