About the data

history edit build
The location-based and market-based methodologies are two ways to report scope 2 emissions.
 
The location-based method reflects the average emissions' intensity of grids where energy consumption occurs.
 
This method quantifies scope 2 GHG emissions based on average energy generation emission factors for defined geographic locations, including local, subnational, or national boundaries.
 
On the other hand, the market-based method takes into account the specific green energy contracts a company may have.
 
Companies are advised to report scope 2 emissions using both methods, and use the higher of the two values for aggregate emission reporting and target setting.
This approach encourages energy efficiency and renewable energy procurement
However, some companies only prominently display the market-based method, which is usually the lower of the two.
