Carbon Intensity Methodology
What is Carbon Intensity?
Carbon intensity is a measure of CO₂ emissions produced per unit of economic output. It acts as a normalised metric to compare emissions efficiency of processes, companies, and industries. It's calculated as Total Emissions (tCO₂e) / Revenue (MEUR). A lower carbon intensity indicates a more efficient use of resources and less of CO₂ emitted proportional to revenue.
Market-Based
Uses contractual instruments (e.g., renewable energy certificates, power purchase agreements) to calculate Scope 2 emissions. Reflects supplier's conscious energy choices.
Scope 1 + Scope 2 (Market-Based)
Location-Based
Uses average emission factors for the local/regional electricity grid. Represents the physical impact based on geographic location.
Scope 1 + Scope 2 (Location-Based)
📊 Example Calculation
Revenue:
738.185 MEUR
Scope 1:
1 228 tCO₂e
Scope 2 (MB):
359 tCO₂e
Scope 2 (LB):
10 766 tCO₂e
Market-Based Intensity:
(1 228 + 359) / 738.185 = 2.150 tCO₂e/MEUR
Location-Based Intensity:
(1 228 + 10 766) / 738.185 = 16.248 tCO₂e/MEUR
⚠️ Important Notes
- • Lower carbon intensity = Better performance (Less emissions proportional to revenue)
- • Market-based values are typically lower due to renewable energy credits
- • Both metrics are required under GHG Protocol Corporate Standard
- • Data sourced from supplier ESG surveys (Question L - Scope 1 & 2 emissions)
