On College website by March 31st2021 5. What should the disclosure include? Corporations making this disclosure should include, as a minimum: its annual UK energy use (in KWh) as a minimum relating to gas, purchased electricity and transport fuel and associated greenhouse gas emissions (in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e)) the methodology used to calculate the required information a narrative of measures taken to improve energy efficiency in the period of the report an emissions intensity ratio chosen by the corporation. Intensity ratios compare emissions data with an appropriate business metric or financial indicator, such as staff numbers, to allow comparison over time or with other organisations in future years, the prior year equivalent figures should also be disclosed for comparison, but this is not required in the first year
Predecessors have reported from 2009 Two Carbon Management Plans CWA Background Baseline calculated Master spreadsheet set up
Basics Scope 1- primary fuel sources combusted at a site or in an asset owned or controlled by org. Plus bioenergy Scope 2-electricity used by an organisation at sites owned or controlled by them. Scope 3-Transmission and distribution grid losses. Business Travel
Spreadsheets, Spreadsheets, Spreadsheets!
Scope 2 market-based method There are two different methods for calculating grid electricity: 1. Locational grid average: Total emissions from all generation/total electricity generated (e.g. 0.25kg CO2/kWh for the UK) 2. Market-based Method: Contractual arrangement via Renewable Energy Certificates, Guarantees of Origin, or other contract. User can claim the attributes associated with renewable generation (e.g. 0 kgCO2/kWh) Source: GHG Protocol: https://ghgprotocol.org/scope_2_guidance
