This data point covers direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of acetylene (C₂H₂) released from your operations within the reporting period. Acetylene is commonly used in welding, cutting, and certain chemical processes, and its combustion or release contributes to direct Scope 1 emissions.
You should report the total amount of acetylene emitted in tonnes during the reporting year.
What to include:
All acetylene used in combustion or welding/cutting processes where the gas is fully emitted.
Both production and maintenance-related consumption.
Report in tonnes (t) based on supplier deliveries or internal usage logs.
What not to include:
Acetylene used as feedstock in chemical production (report under industrial process emissions if applicable).
Emissions from other industrial gases (these are reported under their own datapoints, e.g., propane, Corgon 18%).
Stored but unused acetylene cylinders (only count consumed volumes).
Estimation Methodology:
Preferred: Use supplier invoices or delivery notes for acetylene purchased and consumed.
If direct consumption records are not available, estimate using:
Cylinder capacity × number of cylinders used.
Welding/production hours × typical acetylene usage rate.
Always convert to tonnes (t) before reporting.
