Key takeaways
- Explain Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
- Measure where the emissions are, rank the ways to cut them by cost per tonne, take the cheapest first until the target is met, and compare the rest with the carbon price the company faces.
- Rank emission-cutting levers by cost per tonne.
- Size exposure to carbon prices and the EU carbon border charge.
- Build a plan that meets a target at the lowest cost.
By the end you will be able to
- Explain Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions
- Rank emission-cutting levers by cost per tonne
- Size exposure to carbon prices and the EU carbon border charge
