Sumday Take | For Australian organisations the AUS DCCEEW factors are the default dataset used for carbon accounting across Scope 1 and 2 and the limited S3 emissions sources included in the data set. AUS DCCEEW does not publish emissions factors covering all of the subcategories under Scope 3 meaning that organisations may need to other datasets in order to have complete coverage over Scope 3 emissions. |
