Scope 1: Direct emissions from a company’s own vehicles and facilities, such as fuel used by the company itself.


Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased energy sources like electricity and steam, resulting from energy consumption.


Scope 3: Indirect emissions from activities outside the company’s control, such as supply chains, business travel, and product use by consumers.


Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions define different sources of total carbon emissions. Renewable energy projects play a critical role in reducing these emissions.
