FAQ.- How do I identify my company’s emission sources?

To identify your company’s emission sources, start by examining all activities within your operations that produce greenhouse gases. These emissions typically come from four main areas: stationary combustion (like fuel burned in boilers or furnaces), mobile combustion (fuel used in vehicles such as cars and trucks), process emissions (from chemical or physical processes in manufacturing), and fugitive emissions (unintentional releases like leaks from equipment). Begin by identifying your direct emissions (Scope 1) from these sources. Next, look at indirect emissions from the electricity, heat, or steam you purchase and use (Scope 2). Finally, consider other indirect emissions (Scope 3) from your supply chain activities, outsourced processes, or the use of your products and services. This thorough approach will help you understand where your emissions are coming from so you can effectively manage and reduce them.
