Scope 1 and Scope 2 inventories
Organise relevant fuel, process, refrigerant, electricity, and purchased-energy information within agreed boundaries. Establish calculation methods, factor sources, and evidence records for the inventory.

Carbon & Climate
Organise emissions information, understand climate-related exposure, and evaluate practical actions for decarbonisation and carbon-data readiness.
Advisory focus
Our approach
Build a Carbon Baseline You Can Use.
Carbon management begins by defining the activities and organisational boundaries to assess. PCML’s proposed advisory scope connects emissions inventories, operating data, decarbonisation planning, and readiness for carbon-related information requests.
The work is scoped around the enterprise’s facilities, value chain, data availability, and objectives. Assumptions, emission factors, estimates, and evidence requirements need to be documented so the organisation can understand and improve its baseline over time.
Starting with the evidence
Information We Work With
The precise scope depends on the use case and the information available.
- Facility boundaries, process descriptions, and product information
- Fuel, purchased electricity, refrigerant, material, and production records
- Supplier and logistics data relevant to the agreed value-chain scope
- Existing targets, projects, trade exposure, and investment constraints

Areas of Focus
Explore the work within this capability, the decisions it can inform, and the information needed to develop a useful result.
Scope 3 screening and value-chain data
Identify relevant upstream and downstream activities, assess data availability, and prioritise categories for investigation. Develop a plan for supplier engagement and the use of documented estimates where appropriate.
Emissions intensity and operating drivers
Relate emissions information to production volumes, product groups, equipment, and resource consumption. Examine which operating changes influence intensity and which comparisons require additional context.
Decarbonisation option assessment
Screen potential measures involving efficiency, fuel choices, renewable energy, process changes, or materials. Compare feasibility, estimated emissions implications, dependencies, and indicative investment considerations.
Decarbonisation and net-zero roadmaps
Translate assessed options into a staged plan with responsibilities, milestones, information needs, and review points. Clarify assumptions behind targets and the actions required to evaluate progress.
CCTS readiness
Assess the enterprise’s information and process readiness for relevant requirements under India’s Carbon Credit Trading Scheme. Identify activity data, monitoring processes, and specialist verification support that may need to be addressed.
CBAM data readiness
Map products, production processes, supplier information, and embedded-emissions data requests relevant to the enterprise’s trade context. Define a readiness workplan based on the applicable requirements at the time of engagement.
Physical and transition climate risk
Structure an assessment of how weather-related hazards, resource constraints, technology shifts, or policy changes could affect operations. Explore scenarios and identify where more detailed location or financial analysis is needed.
Carbon project feasibility and MRV planning
Explore the feasibility of a proposed carbon project and its monitoring, reporting, and verification needs. Identify methodology questions, baseline information, and the approvals or specialist roles required before proceeding.
Defining the work
A Scope With Clear Deliverables.
We agree the boundaries, responsibilities, and intended outputs at the start. Depending on the assessment or pilot, the scope can include the following.
- Inventory boundary and activity-data assessment
- Emissions baseline with calculation assumptions and evidence gaps
- Decarbonisation option screening and prioritised action roadmap
- A carbon-data, climate-risk, or regulatory-readiness workplan
Illustrative applications
How the Questions Take Shape
Evaluating a plant efficiency initiative
Examine how a proposed energy improvement could affect emissions and operating expenditure under stated production assumptions.
Responding to a customer emissions request
Identify the product and process information needed, assess the available records, and organise a traceable response workflow.
Putting the work in context
What This Means in Practice.
The aim is to connect emissions information with a practical management plan. Regulatory applicability, calculation methods, specialist verification, and project eligibility are established for the particular engagement.

Facts That Put the Work in Context.
Categories across the value chain
GHG Protocol’s Scope 3 guidance covers categories from purchased goods and transport to product use and investments.

The Corporate Standard covers more than carbon dioxide. Gas-specific quantities require a documented conversion to CO₂-equivalent.
Source · GHG ProtocolMechanisms in India’s carbon market
CCTS includes a compliance mechanism for obligated entities and an offset mechanism with separate project requirements.
