p. 50- Report states, "In 2014, Intel’s absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions increased 23%, and emissions on a per unit basis increased 15% compared to 2013. Since 2010, our absolute emissions decreased 13%, and decreased 22% on a normalized per unit basis. In 2014, the U.S. EPA introduced new global warming potentials (GWPs) for many fluorinated liquids that previously had no GWPs. As a result, our “Other Greenhouse Gases” emissions increased significantly in 2014 from 2013. Our annual purchase of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) has contributed to decreases in our absolute emissions. The RECs resulted in a reduction of 1.3 MMtCO2e in 2014, approximately 100% of our U.S. electricity use."
