C5.2 Provide your base year and base year emissions.
Base year:
1. Decide what year you will be considering your base year for the purpose of CDP reporting. It may or may not be the same as your Scope 5 base year. Your Scope 5 base year can be found in the Preferences & Settings dialog box which is accessible under the Organization tab.
Base year emissions
1. From the top level of the Node Navigator, select Distribution Reports.
2. Click Add a New Report
3. Expand the tracker selection pane. Under the GHG Scopes filter, Select Scope 1 and Scope 2. Make sure to click apply filters after selecting the appropriate trackers:
4. Enter the first and last days of your base year in the Start Date and End Date fields, respectively. As a best practice, check the box to include data only from trackers that are active during the reporting period.
5. In Data Columns pane, click the check-box next to Compare Scope 2 Methods
Once the report is generated, there will be an energy, location-based, market-based, and market-indicative total presented for each Scope.
6. In the Display Options section, set Primary Grouping to –All Trackers– and Secondary Grouping to Scope.
7. Name the report as appropriate (in the Title section), then click the Generate Report.
8. Be sure to verify that there are no unexpected exclusions.
9. Results will be presented by scope.
10. Use the CO2e number from the row labeled Scope 1 and the column titled CO2e(LB) (tonnes) as your response to Scope 1 base year emissions (metric tonnes CO2e).
11. Use the CO2e number from the row labeled Scope 2 and the column titled CO2e(LB) (tonnes) as your response to Scope 2 location-based base year emissions (metric tonnes CO2e).
12. Use the CO2e number from the row labeled Scope 2 and the column titled CO2e(MB) (tonnes) as your response to Scope 2 market-based base year emissions (metric tonnes CO2e).
Base year emissions (Scope 3)
Note: The categories listed under Scope 3 Category (the first column of the table of this question) serve as a good starting point for categorizing Scope 3 emissions in Scope 5. You may find it convenient to organize your custom resources according to these groups or to use a group of tags to categorize trackers accordingly. Please contact us if you would like help adding a group of tags or organizing resources in a way that will make it easy to generate the report to answer this question.
1. From the top level of the Node Navigator, select Distribution Reports.
2. Click Add a New Report.
3. Expand the tracker selection pane. Under the GHG Scopes filter, Select Scope 3.
4. Enter the base year reporting dates into the Start Date and End Date fields.
5. Under Data Columns select CO2e Emissions as the metric in the first select box. For the units, select tonne in the select box immediately to the right.
6. Other select boxes in the Data Columns section should be set to - none -.
7. In the Display Options section, set Primary Grouping to – All Trackers – and Secondary Grouping to Resource Type or Tag Group (see note above).
8. Name the report as appropriate (in the Title section), then click the Generate Report.
9. Be sure to verify that there are no unexpected exclusions.
10. Results will be presented by Scope and organized by either Resource Type or Tag Group.
11. Use the CO2e number from each row in the report for each of the Sources of Scope 3 emissions (metric tons CO2e).
