Scope 3 Emissions Report

Scope 3 Emissions Report — Enterprise ESG Compliance

The Scope 3 Emissions Report quantifies the greenhouse gas emissions associated with waste management activities — classified under Scope 3 Category 5 (Waste Generated in Operations) of the GHG Protocol. For enterprises with ESG reporting obligations, this report provides the data needed to accurately account for and reduce waste-related emissions.

Powered by the ForestEdge API, the report calculates: emissions from waste transport (distance × vehicle emission factor), emissions avoided through landfill diversion (methane generation prevented), carbon removal achieved through pyrogenic biocarbon processing (CORC yield), and net emissions impact (total emissions minus removals). The ForestEdge API provides standardized emission factors specific to Ontario waste management activities.

The report is formatted for direct integration into corporate ESG reporting frameworks: GRI Standards, SASB, CDP, and TCFD. Each data point includes methodology references, calculation transparency, and audit trail linkage back to the Digital Refinery operational data.

For municipalities reporting under Ontario's waste diversion requirements, the Scope 3 report provides the emissions quantification that demonstrates the climate benefits of diversion programs. As municipal ICI waste acceptance ended in January 2026, municipalities seeking to demonstrate environmental progress through their waste management partnerships need this level of emissions accounting.
