Geo Energy 23 With the inclusion of the TRA mine and increase in non-renewable fuel use in our TBR and BEK mines, our total energy consumption has increased by over 14% compared to 2022 to over 2.27 million GJ. Similarly, our energy intensity has also slightly risen this year by 37% to 0.26 GJ/ton of coal produced. Non-renewable fuel use, particularly diesel and liquefied petroleum gas Our initiatives and performance Scope 1 Scope 2 Scope 3 Category 1: BUMA entities, LMA and PKA entities Scope 3 Category 3: Fuel and Energyrelated activities Scope 3 Category 5: Waste generated in operations (LPG), continue to make up the largest share of our total energy consumption. Taking these results into account, we are continuing to work towards implementing initiatives that will improve the energy efficiency of our operations. For a further look into our energy consumption and emissions profile, please refer to the Appendix - Sustainability Performance section. 2023 Total Scope 1, 2 and 3 emission breakdown Following a similar trend to our energy consumption, our Scope 1 and 2 emissions have increased by 3,007 tCO2e to 16,216 tCO2e, a 23% increase compared to 2022. This is primarily due to an increase in non-renewable fuel use in the BEK mine and the recent acquisition of the TRA mine. Scope 3 emissions continue to make up the largest share of our total carbon footprint at 90%, primarily coming from the operations of our mining contractors. Our overall scope 3 emissions have increased by 19,108 tCO2e, a 15% increase compared to 2022 with the largest increase coming from our BUMA-TBR mining contractor and the addition of the contractors of our TRA mine. Indirect emissions from fuel and energy use and waste management from additional Scope 3 emission categories included in 2023 only make up 1% of total emissions and are not the main driver in this year’s emission increase. In total, our Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions have increased by over 15% this year to over 166,000 tCO2e. Similarly, our emission intensity has increased by 36% from the prior year to 0.019 tCO2e/ ton of coal produced. We remain cognisant of the need to manage the impacts of our carbon emissions and will explore a variety of measures to reduce non-renewable fuel use and carbon-intensive machinery.
