This data point captures greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, expressed in metric tonnes of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e), from industrial processes within your operations, as calculated by an external provider. This includes emissions from chemical reactions, high-temperature processing, or other production activities that generate GHGs independently of fuel combustion.
The figure should reflect externally verified calculations, often provided by environmental consultancies, certification bodies, or process-specific monitoring contractors, using recognized methodologies (e.g., IPCC, EU ETS guidelines).
What to include:
All non-combustion process emissions occurring within company-owned or controlled facilities, such as:
Chemical production (e.g., ammonia, cement, lime)
Metal processing (e.g., steel, aluminum)
Industrial gas production
Other manufacturing processes that emit GHGs
Only emissions calculated and provided by an external qualified entity
Full-year emissions for the reporting period in tCO₂e
What not to include:
Combustion-related emissions from fuels (reported separately under stationary/mobile combustion)
Internal estimates without third-party validation
Scope 3 process emissions outside operational control
Emissions from research-scale lab activities unless material in volume
Estimation Methodology:
Since this data point is based on external calculations, internal estimation should be avoided.
If the external report does not cover the full reporting period:
Request the provider to pro-rate or annualize emissions using their methodology
If unavailable, calculate a simple extrapolation based on the available verified data and clearly note it as an estimated figure in your records
