Definition
Scope 2 GHG Emissions. Indirect GHG Emissions from the generation of purchased or acquired electricity, steam, heating, or cooling consumed by the reporting company or other entity. Purchased electricity is defined as electricity that is purchased or otherwise brought into the organizational boundary of the company.[1]
City Protocol
GHG emissions occurring as a consequence of the use of grid-supplied electricity, heat, steam and/or cooling within the city boundary.[2]
Examples
Scope 2 emissions physically occur at the facility where the electricity, steam, heating, or cooling is generated.
Scope 2 GHG emissions will primarily be calculated from metered electricity consumption and supplier-specific, local grid, or other published emission factors.
