ESU services offers the restructuring of life cycle inventories for various greenhouse gas emission categories
We offer the following new products as part of our product range for life cycle inventory data.
Calculation of Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions according to greenhouse gas protocol
The Greenhouse Gas Protocol requires the breakdown of greenhouse gas emissions into Scope 1 (directly at the company location), Scope 2 (emissions from power plants according to direct electricity requirements) and Scope 3 (remaining emissions). For SimaPro users who possess a valid Ecoinvent license and wish to conduct calculations in alignment with the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, we can offer a detailed breakdown of greenhouse gas emissions from Ecoinvent electricity datasets and an extended impact assessment method. This breakdown is categorized into different scopes as defined by the GHG Protocol, specifically Scope 2, Scope 3 excluding Transmission and Distribution (T&D) losses, and Scope 3 T&D losses. These emissions data are provided by ESU for use within SimaPro, facilitating a comprehensive accounting of greenhouse gas emissions. Contact us for more information.
FLAG guidelines emission calculations
Like the approach for the Scope 1-3 emission categories, ESU can offer to provide a breakdown of different emission categories according to the FLAG guidelines. For the greenhouse gas footprint, the categories LUC (land use change), biogenic CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions in the primary sector are then reported separately. In principle this can be offered for as an add-on for different databases for food and agricultural products which are described in chapter 3. Contact us for more information.
