Introduction
Carbon accounting is crucial for organizations seeking to understand and mitigate their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It is categorized into three distinct scopes: Scope 1,Scope 2,and Scope 3.Scope 1 encompasses direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, while Scope 2 includes indirect emissions from the generation of purchased energy. Scope 3, frequently enough the most complex and significant, accounts for all other indirect emissions across the value chain, including upstream and downstream activities.
