MetricClimate and greenhouse gas emissions

Corporate greenhouse gas emissions by gas

Measurement answer

What this metric measures

Corporate greenhouse gas emissions by gas are a structured table that keeps the raw mass of each named greenhouse gas separate and may also show a carbon dioxide-equivalent value under a declared 100-year global-warming-potential source and edition. It is not a single mixed-gas total.

Populate the structured fields from qualifying source observations and retain each field-level unit, boundary, status, and method; do not collapse the disclosure into one calculated value.

Evidence and status sources

Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Interpretation boundaries

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: GHG Protocol Required Greenhouse Gases amendment, February 2013.

  • Named gases included and explicit treatment of gases with no reported amount
  • Raw gas mass in t [named gas] for each gas
  • Included emissions scopes and corporate inventory boundary
  • Optional carbon dioxide-equivalent value in tCO₂e and the declared 100-year global-warming-potential source and edition
  • Biogenic carbon dioxide and base-year treatment

Record-specific limitations

  • Raw masses of different gases cannot be added as though they were one homogeneous quantity.
  • Carbon dioxide-equivalent values depend on the declared global-warming-potential source, edition and time horizon.
  • Omitted gases, scope boundaries and biogenic treatment must be visible for the table to be interpreted.

Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.

Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
