C7 Emissions breakdown
Module Overview
This module enables respondents to break down Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by country, business division, facility and sector.
By breaking down emissions by country or region, this data can be made available to regions, states and sub-national bodies to help guide the development of emissions-related legislation.
Breaking down emissions by business division, facility and activity grants data users and investors transparency into the sources of a company's Scope 1 and 2 emissions and allows tracking the performance of divisions and individual facilities over time.
The module also requests data on emissions other than carbon dioxide. These gases are often only reported in CO2-equivalents (CO2e), and so their contribution to overall emissions is sometimes masked.
Key changes
- Modified question: C7.5 - columns “Purchased and consumed electricity, heat, steam or cooling (MWh)” and “Purchased and consumed low-carbon electricity, heat, steam or cooling accounted for in Scope 2 market-based approach (MWh)” have been removed.
For the oil and gas sector only:
- Modified guidance: C-OG7.1b, C-CE7.4/C-CH7.4/C-CO7.4/C-EU7.4/C-MM7.4/C-OG7.4/C-ST7.4/C-TO7.4/C-TS7.4 and C-CE7.7/C-CH7.7/C-CO7.7/C-MM7.7/C-OG7.7/C-ST7.7/C-TO7.7/C-TS7.7 - the definition of midstream activities has been revised to include the transportation, storage, and distribution of crude oil and natural gas.
