ENGIE backs GHG Protocol shift to hourly, geographic matching for carbon-free power claims

  • Engie backed proposed GHG Protocol changes that would tighten Scope 2 claims by requiring hourly matching of renewable generation with electricity use.
  • The proposal would also require geographic matching, linking clean power production and consumption within the same market zone.
  • Engie urged phased implementation starting after 2030, with mandatory adoption focused on large B2B power consumers.
  • The group supported country-level minimum boundaries for geographic matching, with flexibility for isolated systems and recognition of integrated EU/EEA markets.
  • Engie said it is preparing pilot projects and developing 24/7 carbon-free electricity solutions to help clients meet stricter accounting rules.
