Gross direct (Scope 1) GHG emissions in metric tons of CO 2 equivalent. b. Gases included in the calculation; whether CO 2 , CH 4 , N 2 O, HFCs, PFCs, SF 6 , NF 3 , or all. c. Biogenic CO 2 emissions in metric tons of CO 2 equivalent. d. Base year for the calculation, if applicable, including: • The rationale for choosing it. • Emissions in the base year. • The context for any significant changes in emissions that triggered recalculations of base year emissions. e. Source of the emission factors and the global warming potential (GWP) rates used, or a reference to the GWP source. f. Consolidation approach for emissions; whether equity share, financial control, or operational control. g. Standards, methodologies, assumptions, and/or calculation tools used. Additional requirements for compiling: 2.1 When compiling the information specified in Disclosure 305-1, the reporting organization shall: 2.1.1 Exclude any GHG trades from the calculation of gross direct (Scope 1) GHG emissions. 2.1.2 Report biogenic emissions of CO 2 from the combustion or biodegradation of biomass separately from the gross direct (Scope 1) GHG emissions. Exclude biogenic emissions of other types of GHG (such as CH 4 and N 2 O), and biogenic emissions of CO 2 that occur in the life cycle of biomass other than from combustion or biodegradation (such as GHG emissions from processing or transporting biomass).
