Scope 2 emissions reporting under the GHG Protocol: what the draft update means

Image
  The Greenhouse Gas Protocol has released a draft revision of its Scope 2 Guidance, opening a consultation period through December 19, 2025. This update recognises that nearly 40 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions originate from energy generation, with roughly half of that consumed by industrial and commercial organisations. The proposed changes include the introduction of Scope 2 Quality Criteria for market based methods, a requirement for hourly matching and deliverability of electricity purchases, and an expanded use of consequential accounting to capture system wide impacts of energy choices. This post unpacks what the draft means for businesses, how it changes data strategy and procurement, and what leaders should start doing now to stay compliant and credible. The primary keyword for this discussion is Scope 2 emissions reporting. For a broader perspective on AI and data governance, see Codedevza AI infrastructure insights.

GHG Protocol's Scope 2 Update: What Businesses Need to Know About Hourly Matching and Emissions Transparency

Image
The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) has unveiled a draft revision of its Scope 2 Guidance, marking a significant shift in how businesses report emissions from purchased energy. With nearly 40% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions linked to energy generation, this update is poised to reshape corporate sustainability reporting. The proposed changes, including hourly matching and stricter deliverability criteria , aim to enhance transparency and accuracy in emissions disclosures. For businesses navigating the evolving landscape of sustainability compliance , understanding these updates is no longer optional, it’s a strategic imperative. The Problem: Outdated Scope 2 Reporting Standards Currently, many companies rely on annualised data and renewable energy certificates (RECs) to report their Scope 2 emissions. While these methods provide a high-level overview, they often lack the granularity needed to reflect actual energy consumption patterns. Key challenges with existing stan...
