Our metallurgical coal plays a vital role in underpinning infrastructure growth and economic development, including to improve standards of living in emerging economies, and remains a critical and non-substitutable component of blast furnace steelmaking.
Our high-quality thermal coal has a key role to play in supporting global energy security during the energy transition, particularly in Asia where there continues to be strong demand for its use in high-efficiency, low-emissions, coal-fired power stations.
Whitehaven’s FY30 net Scope 1 emissions intensity reduction target compared with FY23 of 32% is aligned with the emissions intensity reduction obligations set by the Safeguard Mechanism, which came into effect on 1 July 2023, and applies to our Blackwater, Daunia, Narrabri and Maules Creek mines.
Our emissions intensity reduction target will be achieved through a combination of site-specific emissions abatement initiatives and the use of carbon credits.
