Accounting and Tracking for Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG Emissions

ERA’s GHG Accounting Software lets your team organize data, apply emission factors, and calculate carbon impacts across all scopes. Support your sustainability reporting, compliance, and emissions reduction with powerful tools.

Scope 1 Emissions

Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions cover sources owned or controlled by your company. ERA’s software tracks activity data across stationary combustion, mobile equipment, process emissions, and fugitive releases. You can apply the appropriate factors and ensure accurate and consistent calculations.


Centralized recordkeeping and configurable reports help facilities compare fuel use, refrigerant losses, and industrial sources over time. Improved visibility supports strong Scope 1 emissions management and lets your team identify reduction opportunities to guide your sustainability decisions.

Scope 2 Emissions

Scope 2 encompasses indirect emissions associated with purchased electricity, steam, heat, or cooling. ERA’s platform supports both location-based and market-based calculations for the highest level of accuracy. Your team can account for grid factors, supplier agreements, RECs, and offsets in one straightforward reporting workflow.

With energy contracts and renewable credits varying by facility, your Scope 2 carbon accounting must be flexible. ERA helps users apply relevant factors, review reporting outputs, and ensure accurate results for reporting, disclosures, and internal ESG goals.

Scope 3 Emissions

Scope 3 emissions include a wide range of upstream and downstream emissions throughout the value chain. This makes it a complex GHG category to measure. ERA’s software helps your team collect and organize data, conversion factors, supplier details, product specifications, and other information required for accurate accounting.

Centralized data collection across your supply chain simplifies accounting and ensures accuracy. Custom dashboards and KPIs let you evaluate your carbon footprint, monitor progress, and support long-term sustainability across every aspect of your business.

What is GHG accounting and how does it differ from GHG emissions accounting?

GHG accounting refers to the process of quantifying and managing greenhouse gas emissions. GHG emissions accounting specifically focuses on measuring the actual emissions produced by an organization. Both processes are essential for effective greenhouse gas management and carbon emissions reporting.

Can you provide some examples of scope 3 emissions?

Scope 3 emissions include indirect emissions that occur in the value chain of an organization. Examples include emissions from purchased goods and services, business travel, employee commuting, waste disposal, and transportation and distribution of products.

How does GHG accounting software assist in greenhouse gas accounting?

GHG accounting software automates the process of quantifying and managing greenhouse gas emissions. It provides tools for data collection, calculation, and reporting, ensuring accuracy and compliance with regulatory standards. This software is essential for effective carbon accounting and emissions management.

What are the benefits of using carbon accounting software?

Carbon accounting software offers benefits such as streamlined data collection, accurate emissions calculations, automated reporting, and enhanced compliance with environmental regulations. It helps organizations manage their carbon footprint and track progress towards sustainability goals.

What is the role of EPA scope 1 emissions in greenhouse gas management?

EPA scope 1 emissions refer to direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by an organization, such as fuel combustion and industrial processes. Managing scope 1 emissions is crucial for reducing overall greenhouse gas emissions and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

How can a GHG calculation spreadsheet be used in carbon emissions reporting?

A GHG calculation spreadsheet provides a structured format for recording and calculating greenhouse gas emissions. It helps organizations track emissions data, perform calculations, and generate reports for regulatory compliance and sustainability initiatives.
