In 2024, China Northern Rare Earth completed a corporate carbon footprint assessment and publicly disclosed its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions according to the GHG Protocol, covering Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy) and Scope 3 (indirect emissions across the value chain).
However, China Northern Rare Earth has not published a category-level breakdown of its Scope 3 emissions, limiting visibility into specific value chain sources.

In 2024, China Northern Rare Earth reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.a
In 2024, China Northern Rare Earth reported 227,513.93 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2024 disclosure of China Northern Rare Earth includes a breakdown across 0 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2023, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2024, China Northern Rare Earth reported total Scope 3 emissions of 227,513.93 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
In 2024, China Northern Rare Earth reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 343,967.58 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 4,517 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 76.15 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, China Northern Rare Earth reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 76.15 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 89.25, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, China Northern Rare Earth ranked 11 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
China Northern Rare Earth is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, China Northern Rare Earth reported a total carbon footprint of 1,268,165.67 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 144.83% increase compared to 2023, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.ab
The largest contributor to China Northern Rare Earth's total carbon footprint was Scope 2 emissions, accounting for 54.94% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 27.12%.a
