Learnt something new today. Thank you Dr Shruti. Scope 4 sounds very promising. Looking to forward to dog deeper on this with you and the TERI SAS team!
Mam companies are already calculating their avoided emissions to make their companies carbon neutral, indirectly they are considering the scope 4 as well
Nice, there are couple of problems with this 1. selection of baseline product 2. Life cycle analysis. Companies trying to do this may not have data on the baseline product, hence end up with lot of assumption and can lead to enhanced product impact claims as well. Most of them claiming avoided emissions only look at operational emissions rather than lifecycle.
Yes, it's true that data availability can be a challenge in calculating avoided emissions. It's still work in progress. As I mentioned in the video lot of research is going on to mitigate the challenges in understanding avoided emissions. But once implemented this will be the solution to help companies transition towards a low carbon economy.
Yes, it a challenge and there might be disagreements on how to define the baseline product and calculations of avoided emissions, but it is certainly a positive step for companies to start taking emissions more seriously... Another challenge might be that the baseline product itself might be different from country to country and region to region...

What about the embodied carbon of EVs?
