Electric companies emit greenhouse gases (GHG) from a wide range of activities. These emissions often are characterized for accounting and reporting purposes as Direct or Indirect emissions. Direct emissions, referred to as “Scope 1,” result from company activities that physically release (or remove) GHGs to the atmosphere, such as burning natural gas to generate electric power. Indirect emissions can be either scope 2 or Scope 3, and result from other indirect activities that are essential to a company’s operations (e.g., fuel transport to a power generation facility).
