Why Carbon Accounting

Understand the Real
Impact of Electricity-related Emissions

Sustainability reporting is no longer optional. With frameworks like CSRD, SEC climate disclosure, and other ESG regulations, organizations must disclose electricity-related emissions (Scope 2 and Scope 3).

Accuracy depends on the quality of your data. Using rough estimates or outdated averages risks credibility. Inconsistent datasets lead to compliance headaches. And without audit-ready data, reporting becomes a risk.

Electricity Maps provides frozen, certified datasets that make carbon accounting reliable, consistent, and regulator-ready.

Carbon Accounting Platforms & Advisors

Consulting firms and ESG software providers rely on accurate emission factors for their clients’ disclosures. Most still use annual or monthly averages, but regulations and customers are moving toward daily and hourly data.

Future-proof your platform: differentiate with granular, high-accuracy emissions data that reduces compliance risk and positions you ahead of coming requirements.

In-House Sustainability Teams

Large enterprises must report electricity emissions to meet regulatory and voluntary ESG requirements. While many start with annual average emissions factors, some are preparing for the future by experimenting with hourly resolution today.

Large enterprises must report electricity emissions to comply with regulatory and voluntary ESG requirements. Annual averages may meet today’s rules, but upcoming frameworks, from the GHG Protocol to EU CSRD, are steering companies toward daily or hourly reporting. Forward-thinking organizations are moving towards hourly resolutions to stay ahead.

Meet today’s reporting requirements and get ahead of tomorrow’s regulations.

Application

Maturity Curve of Carbon Data

Most organizations start with low granularity — annual or monthly averages. This satisfies today’s reporting requirements.

But as regulations evolve, companies are beginning to integrate daily and hourly signals into disclosures. Electricity Maps already supports every step of that journey.

Most organizations start with low granularity — annual or monthly averages, which satisfies today’s reporting requirements.

However, evolving regulations and standards (such as the GHG Protocol and the EU CSRD) are increasingly pushing for more granular reporting.

As a result, companies are beginning to integrate daily and hourly signals into disclosures.
