FAQ answer

How do you address Scope 2 emissions?

Companies address Scope 2 emissions by measuring purchased electricity, steam, heat, and cooling, then choosing practical energy and certificate actions such as reducing consumption, buying renewable electricity, using qualifying EACs, and keeping documentation aligned with market-based reporting needs.

Companies address Scope 2 emissions by measuring purchased electricity, steam, heat, and cooling, then choosing practical energy and certificate actions such as reducing consumption, buying renewable electricity, using qualifying EACs, and keeping documentation aligned with market-based reporting needs.

Scope 2 work starts with energy data and then moves into sourcing.

The first step is to understand purchased energy use by site, country, reporting period, and energy type. That creates the basis for location-based and market-based Scope 2 reporting.

When the strategy includes renewable electricity, the certificate question becomes practical: which country, which certificate system, what volume, which vintage, which technology, and what documentation route.

GreenPowerHub fits where Scope 2 work turns into certificate market coverage, sourcing, RFQ, marketplace, price, and documentation workflows.

What to check next

  • Measure purchased energy by site, period, country, and energy type.
  • Separate location-based reporting from market-based certificate sourcing.
  • Use qualifying EACs only where they fit the market and claim.
  • Keep certificate documentation tied to the volume, period, beneficiary, and claim.

Next step

Turn Scope 2 requirements into a certificate sourcing workflow.
