Methodology notes
- Worked example for demonstration only. Not a disclosure produced for a real entity. Run your own consumption data through gridIQ /disclosure to generate a report for your organisation.
- Dual-method Scope 2 per GHG Protocol. Location-based uses DCCEEW National Greenhouse Accounts Factors (version 2023-24, NSW1 = 0.73 tCO₂-e/MWh). Market-based uses gridIQ time-matched carbon intensity derived from NEM dispatch-level generation mix at 30-minute granularity.
- Factor versions in force at reporting year start (2023-08-01): scope2_location_factors=2023-24, emission_factors_by_fuel=2023-24. Every gridIQ Scope 2 calculation is stamped with the exact DCCEEW vintage used, supporting the factor-version traceability required under ASRS S2 and the GHG Protocol.
- Time-matched market-based figure is 10.4% lower than location-based. This reflects the office-hours load profile correlating with higher-solar, lower-intensity dispatch periods (10am–4pm weekdays). Buildings with overnight-weighted loads — data centres, 24-hour operations — typically see a smaller or reversed gap.
