Measure and Mitigate Scope 1, 2, and 3 Emissions with Cloud Intel

Sustainability is at the heart of innovation. The world is moving towards a more sustainable and equitable future. Measuring and managing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is crucial for organizations seeking to understand their environmental impact and develop sustainability strategies. Greenhouse Gas Protocol established three scopes as a framework for categorizing emissions: scopes 1, 2, and 3. To reduce emissions, it is necessary to measure and address emissions within each scope.

Cloud Intel plays a vital role in facilitating this process by delivering data-driven insights, efficient sustainability assessment and ESG reporting solutions.

Scope 1 emissions encompass direct GHG emissions that occur from sources owned or controlled by the organization. These emissions typically result from activities such as burning fossil fuels, operating vehicles, or manufacturing processes. Cloud Intel’s sustainability assessment analyses data on energy consumption and fuel usage and provides real-time monitoring and data visualization dashboards to identify emissions hotspots and track progress.

Scope 2 emissions involve indirect GHG emissions resulting from the consumption of purchased electricity, heating, or cooling. With Cloud Intel, you can measure emissions associated with electricity procurement and calculate carbon intensity factors. It also helps you identify energy efficiency improvement opportunities and evaluate renewable energy sourcing options.

Scope 3 emissions are indirect emissions that occur throughout an organization's value chain, including both upstream and downstream activities. These emissions are often the most challenging to measure and mitigate due to their diverse and extensive nature. Cloud Intel can help you identify emission drivers within the scope 3 boundaries and quantify emissions associated with specific activities.
