• Key Concepts: 
  Scope 2 inventory is a term used in the EHS-CI SAP Carbon Impact component. It refers to the indirect emissions associated with the consumption of purchased electricity, heat, steam, and cooling. This includes emissions from electricity purchased from a utility company, as well as emissions from other sources such as district heating systems. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to calculate Scope 2 inventory, organizations must first identify all sources of purchased electricity, heat, steam, and cooling. This includes both direct purchases from a utility company and indirect purchases from other sources such as district heating systems. Once all sources have been identified, organizations must then calculate the total emissions associated with each source. This can be done by multiplying the amount of energy consumed by each source by its corresponding emission factor. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When calculating Scope 2 inventory, it is important to ensure that all sources of purchased energy are accounted for. This includes both direct purchases from a utility company and indirect purchases from other sources such as district heating systems. Additionally, organizations should ensure that they are using the most up-to-date emission factors when calculating their Scope 2 inventory.
