CRS Guidance for Participation in the GHG Protocol Scope 2 Update Public Consultation

This guidance summarizes CRS’s key recommendations for organizations commenting on the GHG Protocol’s proposed scope 2 updates. It highlights areas where greater transparency and data quality are needed—such as clarifying SSS treatment and strengthening residual mix rules—while outlining concerns with proposals that would limit participation in voluntary renewable energy markets, including physical deliverability and hourly matching requirements. These recommendations aim to maintain accurate scope 2 accounting, support diverse leadership approaches, and preserve the impact and cost-effectiveness of broad, flexible markets.
