China Datang Corp (中国大唐集团)

Between 2015 and 2020, Datang’s emissions intensity has decreased by 4%. However, this only represents less than a fifth of the rate required by its 1.5°C pathway between 2020 and 2025. Its emissions intensity is projected to decrease by around 1% between 2021 and 2025. This reduction is not aligned with the company’s 1.5°C pathway which requires a 7% annual reduction. The company is projected to exceed its carbon budget by 66% in 2035. To remain within its carbon budget, the company should accelerate the decline in electricity production from fossil fuel assets.

Datang mentions several activities it plans to do to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, including non-fossil fuel energy investment and emission reduction. However, it does not provide details in the low-carbon transition plan. The company could provide information on specific scope 1 and 2 emission reduction targets and low-carbon electricity development targets to improve its performance in the low-carbon transition.

Datang announces that it supports Chinese carbon peaking and neutrality policies, and it plans to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. However, it does not provide a specific low-carbon electricity portfolio target or emission reduction target for short-and-medium-terms.

Datang mentions it will invest in non-fossil fuel energy, reduce emissions from its coal-related activities, and explore solutions in carbon capture and storage. However, it does not provide details in these development plans.

In 2020, Datang currently has a 38% low-carbon electricity capacity share. It plans to scale up non-fossil energy, but it does not provide a specific target yet. Capital expenditure figures were not found.

Between 2015 and 2020, Datang’s emissions intensity has decreased by 4%. However, this only represents less than a fifth of the rate required by its 1.5°C pathway between 2020 and 2025.

The company’s current emission reduction results are lacking. Though the company supports carbon neutrality, the company does not disclose a detailed low-carbon transition yet. Consequently, how it plans to reduce coal assets and scale up low-carbon electricity is unclear.
