Kinross Gold is excited to release our 2023 Climate Report, providing a comprehensive summary of our global efforts to reduce emissions and address the impact of climate change in 2023.
Highlights of our work on climate action in 2023 include the following:
- Completed the 34MW Tasiast solar plant, which is expected to provide an 18% reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to power generation over the mine life.
- Implemented 15 energy efficiency projects across our global operations, with combined GHG reductions of more than 29 kilotonnes CO2e
- Increased the percentage of renewable energy slightly to 23% of total energy consumed, with 66% of total electricity consumed from renewable sources, and,
- We remain on track to achieve our goal of a 30% reduction of Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions intensity over the 2021 baseline by 2030
