Inner Mongolia Yitai Coal

Inner Mongolia Yitai Coal is a thermal coal mining company whose core business is the extraction and sale of a high-carbon fossil fuel. The Transition Pathway Initiative (TPI) assesses the company's carbon performance relative to its sector peers. According to TPI data, Inner Mongolia Yitai Coal's emissions trajectory and management practices are misaligned with the decarbonization pathways necessary to meet global climate goals. The company's primary product is thermal coal, a major source of greenhouse gas emissions when combusted for power generation. There is no public evidence of a corporate strategy to transition away from this core business or to significantly reduce the carbon intensity of its operations.

Inner Mongolia Yitai Coal is a thermal coal mining company operating in China. The Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment at the University of Oxford, in a 2016 report supported by Norges Bank Investment Management, identified the company among the world's top 20 thermal coal miners for analysis of environment-related risk exposure. The report's assessment of thermal coal miners centers on the inherent environmental destruction of coal mining, which includes land degradation, water contamination, and habitat destruction. As a primary producer, Yitai Coal's core business activity directly contributes to these documented ecological harms.
