Employee commuting is Scope 3, right?

I’m confused because I thought on-site landfills could be Scope 1, but I also recall something about emissions from vehicles being included too.

I practiced a similar question where purchased electricity was classified as Scope 2, so that one can’t be right.

I remember studying that business travel is usually considered Scope 3, but I’m not entirely sure about employee commuting.

I think Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, so I’m leaning towards A, on-site landfills.

I think the key here is to identify which of these options represents a direct emission source that the company has control over. That should help me narrow down the Scope 1 emissions.

On-site landfills seem like they would be a source of direct emissions, so I'm leaning towards option A. But I want to double-check the definitions to be certain.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the difference between the scopes of emissions. I'll need to review my notes to make sure I understand which activities fall under Scope 1 specifically.

This seems like a straightforward question about greenhouse gas emissions. I'll focus on understanding the difference between Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions to determine the correct answer.

Alright, let's go through these one by one. A looks like it could be true, but I'm not sure about the double equals. B and C seem a bit more complex, so I'll have to work through those.

I remember learning about these UDCs in class, but I'm drawing a blank on the specifics right now. I'll have to use the process of elimination to narrow it down.

I'm leaning towards option B, but wasn't there something about TEPs that confused me? I remember Multi-Pod being a key part of the exam prep.

Purchased electricity is a Scope 2 emission, so that's not it. Gotta go with the landfill option for Scope 1.

Actually, you're right. Purchased electricity is a source of Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions because it is directly emitted by the organization's activities.
