How it's allowed

Signals below are derived from emissions data and ownership coverage only, not from any legal or regulatory finding.

Permitted Emissions
These emissions appear to occur under existing permits and regulations. Operating legally is not the same as operating cleanly.
Fossil-Fuel Power Generation
Attributed emissions include fossil-fuel power generation, which is among the most carbon-intensive ways to produce electricity.
Improving Trajectory
Attributed emissions are falling (~8%/yr): an improving trajectory, though absolute output remains large.
No Verified Enforcement or Lobbying Record
This dataset contains no verified enforcement actions, lobbying records, subsidies, or litigation for this entity. Absence of evidence here is not evidence of compliance or of any violation.

Climate Villains makes no claim that any entity has broken any law. These are data-derived signals, not allegations.

Attributed emissions are falling by about +7.9% per year. Attributed emissions, 2022–2024.

It ranks #1510 mainly because its attributed assets emitted about 468 kt CO₂e in 2024 (≈ 102k cars/yr).

The Climate Damage Score is driven by that absolute size on a log scale, with a -0.8-point improving adjustment.

What's known · what isn't

What’s known

  • Attributed emissions: 468 kt CO₂e in 2024 (≈ 102k cars/yr).
  • Primary sector: Power; primary country: Bangladesh.
  • Evidence: 1 asset; ~100% ownership-attribution coverage.
  • Source: Climate TRACE (CC BY 4.0).

What isn’t

  • Exact ownership percentages: Climate TRACE lists owners but not stakes, so shared assets are split equally.
  • Indirect (supply-chain / financed / product-use) emissions are not included.
  • No PR claims, lobbying records, litigation history or policy-compliance data are included.
