Automotive Carbon Accounting Downstream
Understand carbon accounting for automakers’ vehicle use phase carbon emissions (Scope 3, Category 11). Global datasets enable easy comparisons.
Overview
Decarbonization is a competitive factor for the automotive industry. Emissions that occur in a vehicles' use phase—Scope 3 Category 11—account for 70-80% of automakers’ carbon profiles and potentially more for auto suppliers. Reducing vehicle carbon emissions during the use phase is a primary goal for major automakers. Missing those goals is a huge financial risk.
