Actual scope 2 emissions - location based (tonne CO2e/yr) - Vehicle Level
Definition:
Actual location-based scope 2 emissions, also known as indirect emissions, are GHG emissions from purchased electricity, heat, steam or cooling consumed by the assets, but generated elsewhere. The term 'actual' refers to scope 2 emissions that are not estimated. Location-based method quantifies scope 2 emissions based on average energy generation emission factors for defined locations, including local, subnational, or national boundaries (ref: GHG Protocol, “Scope 2 Guidance”, Glossary, 2015). Reference the methodology used to calculate GHG emissions in the comment box.
Additional Guidance:
To calculate location-based Scope 2 emissions, multiply actual energy consumption by the relevant location-based grid emission factor.
Include only actual consumption data for purchased electricity, district heating, district cooling, or steam. If only estimated data is available, report under ESG3.3.7.
For emission-factor selection and disclosure, see ESG3.3. For district heating/cooling and steam, use an appropriate provider-specific or geographically relevant emission factor and disclose the source, geography, factor year and treatment of T&D losses where relevant.
For ESG SDDS reporting, location-based Scope 2 emissions are the minimum reporting approach. Market-based Scope 2 emissions may be reported in addition under ESG3.3.2.1.
