Can EACs be used to reduce emissions from energy sources other than electricity?
Yes. EACs are specifically designed to cover electricity-related emissions under Scope 2. They cannot be used to offset or reduce emissions from other energy sources like natural gas, diesel, or transportation fuels.
If you're trying to reduce emissions from other sources — such as heating with gas or fuel used in vehicles — you'll need to use different instruments, like:
Biomethane Guarantees of Origin (GOs) for gas
Low-carbon fuel credits or SAF certificates for transportation
Each energy type requires its own tracking and certificate system. EACs are only valid for electricity and should not be used to reduce emissions from other fuels.
