Supporting a responsible transition and decarbonisation goals
Our climate strategy is focused on supporting economic development and energy security in our customer countries, predominantly in Asia, in tandem with meeting decarbonisation goals. Whitehaven aims to play a practical and positive role in the journey towards a lower-carbon future.

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.

Emissions

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.
