Which grid factor should an Indian group use for its overseas subsidiaries?
Use the grid factor of the country where each site uses the power, not India's 0.710. Calculate each site's Scope 2 with its own national or regional factor, then add them up in the group report and list the factor and source per site.
Sources of factors
- UK sites: the UK Government conversion factors for that year.
- Other countries: the national published factor, or IEA data where none is published.
- India: CEA CO2 Baseline Database, 0.710 kg CO2 per kWh.
Market based
Contracts and certificates count only in the market where the site is supplied.
What Senseible does here
Senseible reads bills, fuel invoices and production records into dated, fingerprinted records, so the figure you send a buyer can be traced to its documents.
