Primary copper mines' GHG emissions decline; Scope 1 cuts yet to gain traction

Primary copper mines emitted an estimated 53.64 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent in 2024, decreasing 1.17 MMt year over year. Scope 2 emissions accounted for two-thirds of the total reduction, with an improved renewable mix steadily decreasing indirect greenhouse gas emissions. Decreasing emissions associated with electricity generation — purchased or self-generated — has been the initial pathway for abatement initiatives for most mines, mainly by securing purchase agreements or switching to lower-emission fuel sources.
