To report carbon emissions according to the GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance, you need evidence that we have correctly allocated enough REGOs to your supply and that this has been verified. This is achieved through our Carbon Trust assurance process.
Customers on our Natural Renewable Electricity contracts will be provided with a British Gas certificate as evidence to use in GHG Protocol Scope 2 reporting. For small business customers, see our product-specific Fuel mix and associated emissions factors.
Emissions factors are used in carbon reporting to help quantify the environmental impact of different forms of energy generation. Each year, the government publish a database of values that represent the environmental impact of each energy generation technology.
These values are multiplied by the number of megawatt-hours of power that’s been generated through each technology type. This gives an emissions factor that can be used in your carbon reporting.
When you choose our Natural Renewable Electricity option, you’ll be able to report zero g CO2/kWh when reporting on your Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity using the market-based method. This is in line with the GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance.
Take a look at the below diagram for some examples of how carbon emissions are typically categorised into Scope 1, 2 and 3:
