Question

Is heat loss from uninsulated pipes a Scope 1 or Scope 2 emission?

Answer

If the heat is generated on-site by burning fuel (gas boiler, coal furnace, oil heater), the resulting CO₂ is Scope 1. If the heat comes from purchased steam or district heat, it falls under Scope 2. Most industrial process heat is Scope 1.
