The Greenhouse Gas Protocol is now in the decision phase on how to revise their widely accepted Scope 2 emissions accounting measures. The current set of accounting rules were first established in 2015 - but a lot has changed in the interim. Revisiting these rules to modernize them and promote true, physical decarbonization is important.

But there are a couple of proposed changes that have generated a LOT of controversy. In this episode, Paul unpacks the impact of hourly matching and deliverability and discusses how these accounting rules may slow down corporate renewable procurement immeasurably.
