How does a Sriperumbudur electronics supplier report Scope 2 to a global brand?
Report location based Scope 2 from kWh on your bills times 0.710 kg CO2 per kWh (CEA v21.0), and market based Scope 2 only for renewable power you can prove, such as open access contracts or certificates. Brands compare both and check the evidence.
Location based
All grid kWh times the national factor, plus any diesel generator use in Scope 1.
Market based
- Open access green power with supplier records.
- Renewable energy certificates retired for your site.
- Rooftop solar with meter readings.
What brands check
That the renewable claim matches the kWh and period, and is not also claimed by someone else.
What Senseible does here
Senseible reads electricity bills into dated, fingerprinted records and keeps location based and market based figures side by side, each with the factor and year used.
