What are the two approaches for calculating scope 2 emissions associated with electricity usage? (2 options)
A. Location-Based
B. Energy-Based
C. Market-Based
D. Grid-Based
A. Location-Based C. Market-Based
Explanation:
Scope 2 emissions from electricity use can be calculated using Location-Based and Market-Based methods. The Location-Based approach uses average emissions factors for the geographic area where electricity is consumed. The Market-Based method considers specific electricity procurement choices, such as renewable energy certificates.
These methods allow organizations to reflect both the default grid emissions and their conscious purchasing decisions. Energy-Based and Grid-Based are not recognized methodologies under GHG Protocol standards for Scope 2 emissions.
