💡 Why It Matters:

Net Zero Cloud strictly adheres to the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, which is the globally accepted framework for measuring and managing greenhouse gas emissions. This ensures consistency, credibility, and transparency in carbon reporting. Salesforce uses emissions factors from recognized authorities (e.g., EPA, eGRID) to convert energy data (like electricity usage or business travel) into standardized CO₂e values. This alignment ensures your reporting meets investor and regulatory expectations worldwide.

🌍 Explanation:

Greenhouse gases include both long-lived gases like CO₂ and HCFCs and a transient but impactful gas like water vapor. While essential to the greenhouse effect, water vapor levels are driven by temperature, not human activity. Carbon monoxide and hydrogen aren’t classified as GHGs in this streamlined accounting context. Carbon dioxide is the primary reference gas used in tCO₂e calculations.

🔹 Why?

1 Asset per EUR: Ensures accurate tracking (e.g., one building’s electricity use).

Multiple Carbon Footprints: The same EUR can contribute to different emissions reports (e.g., 2023 and 2024 footprints).

❌ Why Others Are Wrong?

A: EURs cannot link to multiple assets (only one).

B/C: EURs cannot link to other EURs—they feed into Carbon Footprints.

Explanation:

Scope 1 emissions are direct greenhouse gas emissions from sources that are owned or controlled by the organization. Examples include:

1. Company vehicles (if fueled by gasoline/diesel)
2. On-site fuel combustion (e.g., natural gas boilers)

Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling that the organization consumes. These emissions occur at the facility where the energy is produced but are accounted for in the organization's carbon footprint because it uses the energy.

Why the other options are incorrect:

B. Scope 1 is from fossil fuels; Scope 2 is from renewables
❌ Incorrect — Scope categorization isn't based on the energy source but on ownership/control and whether the emissions are direct or indirect.

C. Scope 1 is from assets owned; Scope 2 is from assets leased and your value chain
❌ Incorrect — Scope 2 refers to purchased energy, not leased assets or the value chain (which relates more to Scope 3).

D. Scope 1 is from manufacturing; Scope 2 is from other business operations
❌ Incorrect — Scope is about the type and origin of emissions, not specific departments or activities.

So, the distinction in Option A is accurate and aligns with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol standards.

Explanation:

Why?

Dashboard data in Net Zero Cloud is powered by Einstein Analytics dataflows. These do not auto-run when records are added or updated. Admins must manually run or schedule dataflows to sync new data into datasets and refresh dashboards. Assigning permissions alone won’t trigger updates.

Why Others Are Wrong?

❌ A: Admins can’t fix this—it’s a dataflow issue.

❌ C: Permissions don’t affect sync.

❌ D: Object limits don’t block syncing.
