(C8.2f) Provide details on the electricity, heat, steam, and/or cooling amounts that were accounted for at a low-carbon emission factor in the market-based Scope 2 figure reported in C6.3.

Question Dependencies

This question only appears if you select “Consumption of purchased or acquired electricity”, “Consumption of purchased or acquired heat”, “Consumption of purchased or acquired steam” or “Consumption of purchased or acquired cooling” in response to C8.2.

Response options

Please complete the following table. You are able to add rows by using the “Add Row” button at the bottom of the table.

Basis for applying a low-carbon emission factor Low-carbon technology type MWh consumed associated with low-carbon electricity, heat, steam or cooling Emission factor (in units of metric tons CO2e per MWh) Comment

Select from:

  • No purchases or generation of low-carbon electricity, heat, steam or cooling accounted with a low-carbon emission factor
  • Off-grid energy consumption from an on-site installation or through a direct line to an off-site generator owned by another company
  • Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with energy attribute certificates
  • Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) without energy attribute certificates
  • Contract with suppliers or utilities (e.g. green tariff), supported by energy attribute certificates
  • Contract with suppliers or utilities (e.g. green tariff), not backed by electricity attribute certificates
  • Energy attribute certificates, Guarantees of Origin
  • Energy attribute certificates, Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)
  • Energy attribute certificates, I-RECs
  • Grid mix of renewable electricity
  • Other, please specify

Select all that apply:

  • Solar PV
  • Concentrated solar power (CSP)
  • Wind
  • Hydropower
  • Nuclear

C8.2f - Scoring criteria


Disclosure scoring criteria

If:

i) 'No purchases or generation...' options selected - 4 points

OR

ii) 'Purchases...' options selected, for each column completed:

- Basis for applying a low-carbon emission factor - 1 point
- Low-carbon technology type - 1 point
- MWh consumed associate with low-carbon electricity, heat, steam or cooling - 1 point
- Emission factor (in units of metric tons CO2e per MWh) - 1 point


Awareness scoring criteria

If:

i) "No purchases or generation…" options selected - 0/4 points

ii) "purchases…" options selected - 1 point

iii) The total of column "MWh consumed associated with low-carbon electricity, heat, steam or cooling" is within 10% of total of C7.5 column Purchased and consumed low-carbon electricity, heat, steam or cooling accounted in market-based approach (MWh)" - 1 point, otherwise 0/3.


Management scoring criteria

Full points must have been awarded at Awareness level to be eligible for points in Management.

If "purchases…" options selected AND it accounts for 50% or more of your electricity, steam, heat and cooling needs (Scope 2 emissions) - 1 point

Please note in order to obtain this Management point CDP will check the consistency of your answer in C8.2f with figures provided elsewhere in your CDP response (C7.5).


Leadership scoring criteria

This question is not scored for Leadership.
