Abstract
There is an emerging need for companies to track and disclose the carbon intensity of the natural gas and other fossil fuel-based products they buy. This is due to a regulatory push, including in the European Union and California, as well as expectations that corporations will follow through on stated voluntary commitments to decarbonize[1]. For producers of these fuels, documenting carbon intensity, at least at scale, requires systems that standardize — and make very easily auditable — the inputs and processes involved in determining that intensity.
