Operator Energy Consumption Report
Direct and indirect energy use and emissions by operator, 2018–2024.
Operator Energy Consumption The following table presents estimates for direct and indirect energy usage, which can be attributed to our interests, for a majority of our revenue-generating mineral properties, as available from Skarn Associates for calendar years 2018 through 2024. The table also details the GHG emissions associated with each unit of direct and indirect energy and provides a weighted average performance for the portfolio. Entries labeled “NR” means the data was not reported in the Skarn Associates database, and those labeled “–” are for periods when Royal Gold did not have royalty or stream revenue from the mineral property. Skarn Associates may update prior year information, which we may have presented in prior reports. We use the most current data available from Skarn Associates and adjust our presentation of data and calculations accordingly. The Operator Energy Consumption table does not include assets from the Sandstorm/Horizon or Kansanshi transactions as these were not in our portfolio during 2024.
