Note 1: RE Certificates are sold by the power companies for electricity generated by RE sources such that buyers can claim that their operations help reduce carbon emissions. These
Certificates also represent the units of RE purchased by buyers.
Note 2: The reporting entity is required to account for GHG emissions associated with the electricity purchased in Hong Kong based on two emission factors. The reporting entity can
quantify the emissions based on a territory-wide default value of 0.7kg/kWh. The reporting entity can also quantify the emissions based on specific emission factors provided by its
respective provider of electricity. In case that the specific emission factor for the reporting period is not available at the time of accounting, the latest specific emission factor from the
power company may be used as an approximation. These specific emission factors are available from the power companies' websites. For reference, the table below indicates the emission
factors of the two power companies in Hong Kong.

Note: Each unit registered by gas meter represents that the town gas with a heat value of 48 MJ. Based on the information from the Hong
Kong and China Gas Company, the emissions factors for the past five years were derived as below. This factor only accounts for the
emissions during the production of Towngas within the company. Reporting entity should report in Table 1 as well the GHG emissions
associated with combustion of Towngas within the physical boundary under Scope 1.
In case that the emission factor for the reporting period is not available at the time of accounting, the latest emission factor from the
Towngas company may be used as an approximation.
Remarks: Annual update for the emission factor from Sustainability Report of Towngas.
