Summary
This section provides an overview of the methodology that will be applied to the GHG assessment. It defines why the specific data is relevant, how it will be measured, and what categories or frameworks are used.
Why consider emissions from Machines inventory?
Purpose: The machines inventory is used to assess the impact of big assets purchases from companies in the industrial or construction sector
Type of raw data
Purpose: List of machines purchased
Granularity: Per type and subtype, lease or purchase, weights
Measurement: Count of machines Example Data Format:-Granularity: Each machines purchased over the year (GHG P) or over the last 10 years (BEGES) Important Note: Refer to the Data Collection Guide for more details.
Processing between methodologies
General information
BEGES
GHG Protocol
Emissions should include
Upstream emissions from owned machines, amortized over 10 years (1/10 of the total impact every year)Leased machines are included based on the leasing days.
Upstream emissions from owned machines, without amortization
Two modules are available: One for GHG P, and one for BEGES. The difference is that we ask for the date of purchase in BEGES, since emissions are amortized.
