*Excludes the company's consumption of district heating due to the immateriality of
the quantity compared with the other Scope 2 categories.
According to the source "Scope 1 are direct GHG emissions from fuels combusted in sources that we
own or control, such as our power and heat plants and vehicle fleet. They also
include fugitive methane emissions from our gas distribution networks.
Scope 2 are indirect GHG emissions from the generation of electricity that we
purchase to power our buildings, operations, and electric vehicles or that are
classified as line losses in our power distribution networks. These emissions
don’t physically occur at our facilities but rather at the facility where the
electricity is generated. This is why power distribution losses are classified as
Scope 2 emissions but gas distribution losses as Scope 1 emissions. Emissions
attributable to line losses are lower in grid segments with lots of renewables
feed-in. In line with the GHG Protocol, we calculate Scope 2 using a location-based method and a market-based method.
Scope 3 are indirect emissions that occur upstream and downstream from
E.ON."
