One of 2 methods a company uses to calculate greenhouse gas (GHG) emission amount associated with electricity use.
The location-based method allows companies to calculate greenhouse gas emission amount using the average electricity Emission factor for a specific region or country. By using the location-based method, companies can calculate emission amount based on electricity usage across the entire region, making it easier to compare regions. However, it differs from the market-based method in that it does not directly reflect individual efforts by companies, such as the use of renewable Energy.
