Scope 1
Stationary Emission
Stationary emissions refer to the direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that come from stationary sources owned or controlled by a company. These sources include equipment or facilities that produce emissions during activities such as manufacturing, heating, or energy generation. For example, boilers, furnaces, and generators powered by fossil fuels fall under this category. Managing stationary emissions is crucial for reducing your overall carbon footprint by improving energy efficiency, upgrading to cleaner fuels, or utilizing renewable energy sources.
Key Considerations:
- Sources: Boilers, furnaces, heaters.
- Emission Reduction: Fuel switching, equipment upgrades, energy efficiency.
Scope 1
Mobile Emission
Stationary emissions refer to the direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that come from stationary sources owned or controlled by a company. These sources include equipment or facilities that produce emissions during activities such as manufacturing, heating, or energy generation. For example, boilers, furnaces, and generators powered by fossil fuels fall under this category. Managing stationary emissions is crucial for reducing your overall carbon footprint by improving energy efficiency, upgrading to cleaner fuels, or utilizing renewable energy sources.
Key Considerations:
- Sources: Boilers, furnaces, heaters.
- Emission Reduction: Fuel switching, equipment upgrades, energy efficiency.
Scope 2
Carbon Emission for Purchased Electricity
Scope 2 emissions refer to indirect emissions from the consumption of purchased electricity, heat, or steam. Although these emissions occur at the energy supplier’s facility, they are attributed to the organization using the energy. Reducing Scope 2 emissions involves sourcing cleaner electricity through renewable energy options like solar, wind, or hydro power, implementing energy-efficient technologies, and participating in green energy purchasing programs.
Key Considerations:
- Sources: Purchased electricity.
- Emission Reduction: Switching to renewable energy providers, improving energy efficiency within the company, and utilizing energy-saving technologies.
