In 2024, KT&G consumed a total of 4.14 million Gigajoules of energy across its operations. Of this total, 10.25% was sourced from renewable energy, either derived from natural resources like biofuels, biomass, or biogas, or generated using renewable technologies such as solar or wind power. The remaining 89.75% was classified as non-renewable energy, coming from fossil-based fuels such as coal, natural gas, or crude oil, or from non-renewable generation technologies like nuclear power.a
In 2024, KT&G consumed a total of 4.14 million Gigajoules of energy, of which 10.25% was derived from renewable sources, including biofuels, biomass, biogas, solar, and wind power.a
This low level of renewable energy use highlights a heavy reliance on fossil fuels or other non-renewable sources, suggesting that KT&G has considerable room to improve its energy sustainability strategy.
Since 2021, KT&G's total energy consumption increased by 8.9%, but remained relatively stable in 2024, possibly indicating a plateau in energy growth.a
Over the same period, the share of renewable energy in KT&G's consumption increased by 12,878.34%, including a 16.87% increase in 2024, showing consistent progress in clean energy adoption.a
Overall, KT&G’s energy trends reveal a complex picture, with variations in total consumption and renewable sourcing. A closer examination of operational drivers and sourcing strategies is needed to fully assess the company’s environmental impact.
