Training: GHG Reporting in in TCR’s Platform 3

Carbon Footprint The total amount of greenhouse gases that are emitted into the atmosphere each year by an organization or company, either directly or indirectly. 5

Greenhouse Gases  Carbon dioxide (CO 2 )  Methane (CH 4 )  Nitrous oxide (N 2 O)  Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)  Perfluorocarbons (PFCs)  Sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 )  Nitrogen trifluoride (NF 3 ) 6

Emissions Scopes Scope 1, 2, and 3 Graphic via Greenhouse Gas Protocol - https://ghgprotocol.org/ 7

Steps to the Reporting Process Identify your reporting boundaries Identify your facilities and sources Organize and collect data on emission sources Quantify and report emissions 8

Quantifying Emissions Once you have the data, how do you calculate emissions? Activity vity Data: : Emissi ssion n Factor : quantity of fuel or converts activity = X material that, when data into amount GHGs used, emits GHGs of GHGs e.g. 9.13 kg CO2 e.g. gallons of emitted per one gallon gasoline, SCF of of motor gasoline natural gas, Mwh of combusted electricity 9

Quantifying Scope 2 Emissions Scope 2 Accounting (Purchased Electricity, Steam, Heat or Cooling) Two accounting methods help clarify renewable energy claims and accounting:  Location-based method  Market-based method 10

Quantifying Scope 2 Emissions Location-Based Method Reflects emissions  as they occur on the local grid Primarily uses grid-  average emission factors I.e. emission factors  reflecting emissions profile of power consumed in region Reflects overall  fuel/generation mix of power in region 11

Quantifying Scope 2 Emissions Market-based Method Reflects the GHG emissions  associated with choices you make about energy supply or purchase. Allows you to claim the specific  emission rate associated with energy purchases Emission factors specific to  renewable energy purchases: RECs, PPAs, etc. Utility-specific emission factors  12
