Scope 2 Emissions

Scope 2 Emissions

Emissions resulting from energy that was purchased by an organization from external sources (primarily electricity and steam). Like scope 1 emissions, scope 2 emission data sources range from meter readings and invoices (most accurate), to company-wide financial data (least accurate). Scope 2 emission calculations require additional data on the electricity mix of a regional or national power grid in a given year.

"To reduce our Scope 2 emissions, my company is focusing on increasing our use of electricity from renewable sources to power our main production plant."
