Hi there! I'm still confused between Scope 1 & 2, and Scope 2 & 3 - mainly because Scope 1 is the 'direct emissions' so includes heating (so if a company gets a gas bill, that's scope 1?), but then scope 2 incl. indirect emissions at both upstream, reporting company and downstream phase so isn't that also including that gas bill I mentioned in scope 1? Separately, if I need energy to fuel a factory plant to manufacture a t-shirt, that falls under scope 3 but wouldn't that be scope 2 - since it is purchased emissions? (Thanks so much in advance! :) )
Can I say that Scope 1 is operation of own boiler, own power consumption? Scope 2 is cooling, heating? Scope 3 is business travel, purchases goods and services, investments, vehicles in a fleet, and leased buildings/ outsourced logisitics?
That would most likely be a scope 2 emission because it relates to indirect greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the consumption of purchased electricity, heat, or steam.
Hi , I am working in forging industry in India & defining & calculating sustainability scope 1,2,3. What is your opinion on EU Due degilance supply chain act ?
Hey Ragas, Classification of emissions into scopes is governed by the GHGP Corporate Value Chain standard, the leading standard that dictates how businesses can translate their business activities to emissions outputs. Scopes are a classification system that organizes different activities based off of a company's ability to control the activities that produce those emissions.
A seemingly naive question. Nevertheless. Scope 1 emissions are something that arises out of 'Burn' or arises as a direct resultant of your activities. But wouldn't that also take into account purchased fuel? Which is ideally Scope 2 emissions?
Hey there! Yes, the "Burn, Buy" Beyond" is just a shorthand to remember, generally, what fits into each scope. So, yes you are still burning purchased fuel as part of scope 2.
This could have been better explained with a proper example showcasing each of the various scopes of emissions. Apologies but I did not really understand the differences very well. Thanks for the attempt though.

Thanks for the introduction to scope 12 and 3 emissions! As lifecycle assessments become more and more requested, this is key to understand!
Glad it was helpful!
Loved the way you explained everything in a short video with examples.
Glad it was helpful!
thanks for the video.
papers used in the company is scope 1 or 2 ?

No
Thanks for sharing this knowledge! I subscribed🌍♻️
Confused about location based and market based bifurcation in Scope 2 emissions, Can you provide Explanation 😢
hey there, this blog post should help: www.sustain.life/blog/purchased-electricity-emissions-accounting-market-and-location-based
Thank you for the elaborate explanation.
Glad it was helpful!
Heating oil is scope 1 and heating is scope 2 can you clarify on the differences. If company receives a gas bill will that be 1 or 2?
That would most likely be a scope 2 emission because it relates to indirect greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the consumption of purchased electricity, heat, or steam.
Thank you for the clear explanation. ❤

Hi , I am working in forging industry in India & defining & calculating sustainability scope 1,2,3. What is your opinion on EU Due degilance supply chain act ?
What is the purpose of all these? I mean why do we have to measure them and categorise them into scopes 1,2 and 3?
Hey Ragas, Classification of emissions into scopes is governed by the GHGP Corporate Value Chain standard, the leading standard that dictates how businesses can translate their business activities to emissions outputs.

scope 2 is about the emission from producing those oils/electricity
this helps me a lot. thanks
Glad you found it helpful!
Perfect. Thank you. Very clear.
Great video, clear explanation
Nice explanation!
Thanks so much!
Burn, Buy, Beyon, thank for easy to understanding us.

But CO2 feeds trees and trees make oxygen which retains the atmosphere which protects the planet from the heat of the sun
But we also cut trees as crazy especially old forests which are much more better in absorbing CO2 ..
