Standard vs. Scope Data

Approach to CO2 Reporting for Fleets

Accurate CO2 reporting is crucial for organizations to understand and manage their environmental impact, meet regulatory requirements, and achieve sustainability goals. With various methods available for tracking and reporting emissions data, it can be challenging to choose the most suitable approach.

Standard Approach

The traditional method for creating CO2 reports for fleets involves manual collection of data, such as fuel logs and emissions reports, or using telematics systems to track emissions. This approach can be time-consuming and challenging due to the need for manual input, data cleaning, and conversion.

Scopes Data Approach

Scope Data simplifies the process of collecting and managing emissions data by leveraging a user-friendly platform where drivers can easily input data once a month, while administrators send invitations and manage the data. This approach streamlines the reporting process, reduces manual work, and maintains accuracy.

Pros:

  1. Comprehensive data collection: Captures a wide range of emissions data from various sources.

  2. Established methodologies: Uses well-known and accepted methods for calculating emissions.

Pros:

  1. Efficient data collection: Simplifies data input and management, with drivers only needing to input data once a month.

  2. Centralized platform: Streamlines data management by unifying data sources and formats.

  3. Accurate and up-to-date data: Ensures high-quality data by allowing easy access and maintenance.

  4. Cost and time savings: Reduces the time and resources needed for data collection and analysis.

Cons:

  1. Time-consuming: Requires significant manual input, cleaning, and conversion of data.

  2. Inconsistent data formats: Data may come from different sources, requiring extra effort to unify and analyze.

  3. Limited access to data: Some data may be difficult to access if not available online.

Cons:

  1. Reliance on driver input: Accuracy depends on timely and correct data submissions by drivers.

  2. Potential learning curve: Users may need time to familiarize themselves with the platform and its features.

Scopes Data has developed a very simple and easy-to-understand application in order to minimize these cons and streamline the reporting process.

Review and address data issues
Carefully check the submitted reports for any abnormal values or inconsistencies in the data. If any issues are found, delete the report and request the driver to resubmit or correct the data as needed. If a report contains odd content, verify the GHG report and graph data without including that particular report, ensuring accurate and reliable data.

About CO2e Emission by Vehicle

Calculation Methodology

CO2e emissions from vehicles can be calculated by determining the amount of CO2 and other GHGs.
Scopes Data uses the following to calculate CO2e

Mileage

Calculate the monthly mileage from the reported odometer readings.

Efficiency

For Fuel and Electricity Efficiency, it is recommended to use the figures on the vehicle's dashboard. If this is not available, the vehicle specification data published by the OEM or other parties can be used.

Emission Factor (EF)

For fuel, each fuel type has its own EF; you can find the constant you are using on the Emission Factor page. For electricity, the EF is basically the EF for each country. For some countries, EFs are provided at the state level.

Scope 1

Distinguishing Direct Emissions

Automatically identify and categorize emissions originating from fuel combustion in company-owned vehicles and operational leased vehicles used for business purposes, excluding biofuels.

Scopes Data - CO2e from Fuel Icon
CO2e from Fuel for Business Purpose Use
CO2e =
Business Mileage (km)
Fuel Efficiency (L/km)
Fuel EF (CO2e kg/L)

Fuel Type:

Petrol, Diesel, E85, E100(Bio-Ethanol), CNG, LPG

Fuel EF:

Scopes Data is using figures from the UK DEFRA 2022 report (UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting 2022). If you would like to use your company's unique emission factors, you can also make changes from the Fuel EF Management.

Scope 2

Identifying Indirect Emissions

Recognize and classify emissions resulting from purchased electricity used by electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles in the fleet, including emissions from electricity generation for charging vehicles.

Scopes Data - CO2e From Electricity Icon
CO2e from Electricity for Business Purpose Use
CO2e =
Business Mileage (km)

100% - Renewable Electricity (%)

Electricity EF:

Scopes Data use publicly disclosed data for the average Electricity Emission Factors (EF) of 217 countries, as well as state-level average Electricity EF for the United States, Canada, and Australia.

If you would like to use your company's unique emission factors, you can also make changes from the Electricity EF Management.

Scope 3

Assessing Upstream Commuting Emissions

Evaluate and categorize emissions generated by employee commuting in personal or public transportation, covering emissions from employees traveling to and from work.

Scopes Data - CO2e from Fuel Icon
CO2e from Fuel for Commuting Purpose Use

Energy EF (CO2e kg/L & kg/kWh)

The Scope 3 data consists of figures from Upstream Activities related to Employee Commuting (Category 7).

Out of Scope

Private Emissions

Isolate and categorize emissions from vehicles used for private purposes, unrelated to business activities, ensuring that these emissions are not included in the company's GHG accounting.

Out of Scope - Bio

Biofuel Emissions

Accurately calculate and categorize emissions from the combustion of biofuels in the fleet, such as E85 or ethanol. Although these emissions are part of Scope 1, they are often reported separately due to their renewable nature and lower net GHG impact.

Scopes Data - CO2e from Fuel Icon
CO2e from Bio-Fuel for Business Purpose Use
CO2e =
Business Mileage (km)
Fuel Efficiency (L/km)
Bio-Fuel EF (CO2e kg/L)

Fuel Type:

E85, E100(Bio-Ethanol),

Fuel EF:

Scopes Data is using figures from the UK DEFRA 2022 report (UK Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting 2022). If you would like to use your company's unique emission factors, you can also make changes from the Fuel EF Management.

By leveraging Scope Data's precise categorization feature, you can effortlessly classify fleet emissions and gain a deeper understanding of your organization's environmental footprint. This information is crucial for making data-driven decisions about emissions reduction strategies and meeting sustainability goals.
* For our Scope Data, we use the Operational Control model to calculate GHG Accounting within the defined organizational boundaries. In summary, the Operational Control model is a method for determining an organization's GHG emissions based on the activities and facilities over which it has direct control. By employing this model, we focus on the emissions sources that an organization can directly influence and manage, thus enabling a more targeted approach to emission reduction strategies.
