Carbon Footprint
The total amount of greenhouse gases that are
emitted into the atmosphere each year by an
organization or company, either directly or
indirectly.
5
Greenhouse Gases
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Methane (CH4)
Nitrous oxide (N2O)
Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)
Perfluorocarbons (PFCs)
Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)
Nitrogen trifluoride (NF3)

Emissions Scopes
Steps to the Reporting Process
Identify your reporting boundaries
Identify your facilities and sources
Organize and collect data on emission sources
Quantify and report emissions
8
Activity Data:
quantity of fuel or
material that, when
used, emits GHGs
Emission Factor :
converts activity
data into amount
of GHGs
GHGsX =
e.g. gallons of
gasoline, SCF of
natural gas, Mwh of
electricity
e.g. 9.13 kg CO2
emitted per one gallon
of motor gasoline
combusted
Once you have the data, how do you
calculate emissions?
9
Quantifying Emissions
Scope 2 Accounting (Purchased
Electricity, Steam, Heat or Cooling)
Two accounting methods help clarify
renewable energy claims and
accounting:
Location-based method
Market-based method
10
Quantifying Scope 2 Emissions
Location-Based Method Reflects emissions
as they occur on the local grid
Primarily uses grid-average emission factors I.e. emission factors
reflecting emissions profile of power consumed in region
Reflects overall fuel/generation mix of power in region
11
Quantifying Scope 2 Emissions
Market-based Method Reflects the GHG emissions
associated with choices you make about energy supply or purchase.
Allows you to claim the specific emission rate associated with energy purchases
Emission factors specific to renewable energy purchases: RECs, PPAs, etc.
Utility-specific emission factors
