In 2024, Peabody Energy 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) and Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy).
However, Peabody Energy has not published a category-level breakdown of its Scope 3 emissions, limiting visibility into specific value chain sources.

In 2024, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Peabody Energy amounted to 5,663,652 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. This figure includes both direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2).a
Compared to 2023, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Peabody Energy decreased by 6.76%, showing that the company has made progress in taking action to reduce the climate impact of its operations.a
In 2024, the total Scope 1 emissions of Peabody Energy were 5,106,580 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, Peabody Energy's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 35.15%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2023), Peabody Energy's Scope 1 emissions decreased by 6.59%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower direct emissions from assets it owns or controls.a
In 2024, Peabody Energy reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 557,072 tCO₂e without specifying the calculation method.a
Since 2019, Peabody Energy's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have decreased by 23.88%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2023), Peabody Energy's Scope 2 emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Peabody Energy's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2024, Peabody Energy reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.a
In 2024, Peabody Energy reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 5,106,580 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 4,237 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 1,205.32 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Peabody Energy reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 1,205.32 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 481.45, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Peabody Energy ranked 18 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Peabody Energy is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
