Fuel Consumption measures and manages the direct use of combustible fuels - such as natural gas, fuel oil, LPG, diesel, gasoline, coal, biomass and hydrogen - burned in a company’s stationary equipment (boilers, furnaces, generators) and mobile sources (company-owned vehicles, vessels, aircraft). The topic covers:

• accounting of Scope 1 energy use in physical units (GJ, MWh, litres, tonnes) and its conversion to CO₂-equivalent emissions using recognised emission factors;
• tracking of fuel mix, including the share of lower-carbon or renewable alternatives (biogas, green hydrogen, sustainable biofuels);
• efficiency initiatives (process optimisation, equipment upgrades, driver-behaviour programmes) that reduce absolute and intensity-based fuel demand;
• integration of fuel data into energy-management systems (e.g., ISO 50001) and internal carbon-pricing or cost-reduction analyses;
• disclosure and target-setting aligned with frameworks such as GRI 302-1/302-4, EU ESRS E1 and ISSB/TCFD guidance.
