The best explanation I have seen of the scopes. It would be interesting to see a video explaining how to do the reporting - e.g. using the UK government conversion tables
Thank you for your kind feedback - I am looking to plan my videos for 2022 and will look to produce an episode explaining how to complete carbon reporting. You may be interested in the current video on "What is SECR? 5 Steps to complete your Reporting" - ruclips.net/video/CXydt6EP974/видео.html, which covers some of the key issues in carbon reporting.
I am glad that you enjoyed my video on Scopes 1, 2 and 3. Currently, one of my videos: How to calculate a Greenhouse Gas Baseline as part of your NetZero journey (ruclips.net/video/asg15Pvy8HQ/видео.html) covers a basic explanation of the calculation of carbon emissions as part of a baseline. I am developing further videos on carbon inventories and footprints, so watch out for these new videos in the near future.
Good point - A controversial debate has evolved regarding consumption-based accounting (CBA) versus production-based accounting (PBA) of CO2 emissions. For me, it is a case of scoping the GHG accounting. You may want to see a more detailed analysis of the issues in the published paper: Consumption-based versus production-based accounting of CO2 emissions: Is there evidence for carbon leakage? at www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1462901118300200?msclkid=ee5d423cc4a211ecb711040ed667c318
Glad that you enjoyed my video on Scopes 1, 2 & 3 in Greenhouse Gas accounting. Hope you have enjoyed some of my other videos on COP26 and other Greenhouse Gas.
On viewing this video again, I noticed your interesting comments around 3 minutes - that emissions of fluorocarbons and nitrous oxide are not counted under scope 1. Surely these are very powerful greenhouse gases. Why would they not be reported? Does that also apply to ISO 14064 and PAS2060? I am now concerned that organisations are not reporting some of their most serious emissions!
A good point - The issue is that these gases are not part of the Kyoto Protocol, so for consistency they are reported separately under the The Greenhouse Gas Protocol - A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard published, jointly, by World Resources Institute & the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. Other standards, such as ISO 14064 and PAS 2060, do not explicitly make this type of statement but are open to programme specific definition of what is included (or excluded) within a Scope.
So, my electricity bill is a scope 2 emission but I can change my electricity provider directly right? Wouldn't that make it scope 1? What am I not understanding?
The use of the word "direct" in Scope 1 emissions related to the production of energy directly from the fuel source, such as a gas boiler converting the gas in the combustion process into energy, such as hot water or heating, or using a portable generator to produce electricity. The use of electricity will, always, be a Scope 2 emission for he person or organisation using the electricity as the conversion of the fuel (e.g. gas and coal) into electricity is undertaken at the power plant, so being one stage removed (*indirect") from the use of the fuel by yourself. Changing electricity providers will not change the Scope 2 to Scope 1 but some electricity providers may generate electricity using renewable sources, which may have less greenhouse gas emission as a consequence.
As you have identified, Scope 2 covers a limited set of carbon emission sources. Principally, it relates to purchased electricity as this is the main source for many organisations. However, Scope 2 does cover other indirect carbon emissions, such as purchased steam, heating and cooling.
There is likely to be job opportunities in. Avon accounting as more and more countries, such as the USA, UK and EU, introduce legislation to require, mainly, large companies to report on their environmental impact stating with greenhouse gas emissions.
Agreed - Greenhouse Gas (GHG) or Carbon accounting requires training and experience to carry out GHG accounting projects. The video gives a short introduction to one of the aspects of GHG accounting with more to come in the future.
Good question - GHG has become a short three letter term for "Green House Gas" or Green House Gases", I guess because it is shorter to say especially when said many times in a short space of time.
Yours is definitely the clearest and most concise description of 1, 2 and 3 emissions so far. It’s great that you include reference links as well.
Thank you for the positive feedback on the Scope 1, 2 & 3 video.
Hope the reference links were useful for a deeper dive into the subject.
Thank you so much, and I will keep myself here for more knowledge
You're most welcome! I hope that I can bring more knowledge for you.

clear definition about Scope 1,2 &3, i would request to you how to calculate Emission intensity figure.
I am glad that you enjoyed my video on Scopes 1, 2 and 3.

Thank you so much. Definitely the best. Succinct, easy to understand and clear.
Glad it was helpful!
Hope you will enjoy my other videos on Greenhouse Gas management playlist at ruclips.net/p/PLMWwOGZNMbOb9nFwkXvkRYSTXH9cZalyZ
A very good intro and well explained, many thanks Andrew.
Glad you liked the video - I hope it was helpful!
It is clear and informative
Good to read your comment that the video on Scope 1, 2 and 3 Greenhouse Gases accounting was informative.
Fantastic, short and to the point.
Glad you think so!
Hope that you will enjoy my other videos too.
Thank you, you explain very nicely
Glad that my video on Scope 1, 2 and 3 was helpful for you.
Is there an overlap between consumption-based & production-based accounting and these scopes in GHG accounting? Thank you for this video!

Thanks, greetings from Mexico
Welcome! Good to hear from you in Mexico
Very helpful info! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent
Thank you so much - Glad that you enjoyed the video.
Many thanks Andrew.

Very good!
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thanks. It has helped.
Glad to hear that you enjoyed the video.
well, it's help to understand scope.
Great to hear that it advanced your understanding of the Scopes in greenhouse gas accounting.
Thank you very much, very clear
You are welcome! Good to see your interest in Greenhouse Gas accounting.
Great literature, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! - There are plenty more videos on carbon and energy management in this playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLMWwOGZNMbOb9nFwkXvkRYSTXH9cZalyZ
loved this episode thank you

Glad that you enjoyed the Scoping video
More Greenhouse Gas accounting videos to come...
does scope 02 only include purchased electricity? if a firm is using purchase steam energy, compressed air etc. will these comes under scope 01.
As you have identified, Scope 2 covers a limited set of carbon emission sources. Principally, it relates to purchased electricity as this is the main source for many organisations. However, Scope 2 does cover other indirect carbon emissions, such as purchased steam, heating and cooling.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Glad that you found the video useful.
Well explained!
Thank you for your kind feedback.
I wonder who I could ask for to have this scope 1, 2 and 3 calculated?.
It is good to share this information, so that other's can become experience in this area too.
Thanks
Great to se that the video on Scope 1, 2 and 3 was useful for you.
@@EMSmastery Yes Sir, it was. Thank you so much.
Yeah it is useful overview
Great to see that you found the video useful.
I hope to make plenty more videos on carbon accounting in the future.
What's job opportunity s through dear sr
There is likely to be job opportunities in. Avon accounting as more and more countries, such as the USA, UK and EU, introduce legislation to require, mainly, large companies to report on their environmental impact stating with greenhouse gas emissions.
Need to be trained
