Q: What is the difference between scope 1 and scope 2?

Scope 1 covers direct emissions: fuel combustion in your vehicles, gas or oil heating in your premises. Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from purchased energy: mainly consumed electricity.

Q: How are emissions calculated?

The formula is simple: Emissions (kg CO2e) = Quantity consumed × ADEME emission factor. For example, 1,000 kWh of electricity in France = 1,000 × 0.052 = 52 kg CO2e. Dekko Green automates this calculation for each emission source.
