What is a Greenhouse gas report ?

A Greenhouse gas report is an evaluation of the amount of greenhouse gas emitted by an organization during a specific period.

CO2 is not the only greenhouse gas. Methane or Nitrous oxide, among others, also have an impact on climate change.

Exemple : According to the IPCC, the emission of 1kg of CH4 is equivalent to 28 kg of CO2.

Carbon reports usually computes the emissions of companies in terms of CO2 equivalent (CO2e)

3 of 7

Scope 1 : Direct Emissions

Scope 1 refers to direct emissions from the company : fossil fuels combustion and gas leaks.

Scope 2 : Indirect Emissions from Energy

Scope 2 refers to indirect emissions from energy : electricity consumption and heat networks.

Scope 3 : Value chain (upstream and downstream)

Scope 3 refers to the entire value chain of companies :

Emissions from suppliers, usage of product sold, business trips, etc. �

How are emissions computed?

Physical approach

Emissions are always computed by multiplying activities data by emission factors.

Methodology

Exemples

Kg CO2e

22.7

Kg CO2e

Physical data (kWh, km, kg...)

Emission factor (kgCO2e / unit)

Natural gas :

100 kWh

0.227 kgCO2e / kWh

This emission factor comes from the French Environmental agency and takes into account gas combustion and upstream emissions (gas extraction & transportation)

When data is available, emissions are computed with a physical approach.

How are emissions computed?

Monetary approach

When physical flows are to complex to be quantified, or when data is unavailable, a monetary approach is used, based on accounting data.

Exemple

Salesforce spendings :

10 000 €

1200

Kg CO2e

Carbon intensity of SF revenue

0.12 kgCO2e / €

When a company uses Salesforce’s services, a lot of different physical flows are induced : data center usage, offices’ energy consumption, etc. Hence, a monetary approach is used.
