1. The following Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors were used: 1 for CO2, 28 for CH4, 265 for N2O, 1.923,5 for R410A, 3.350 for R227ea/FM200, 1.624.21 for R407C. For more details, refer to: IPCC, 2014: Climate Change 2014: Synthesis Report. Contribution of Working Groups I, II and III to the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
The increase in fugitive emissions in 2024 is attributed to the inclusion of measurements related to gas loss during the refilling of cylinders for automatic fire suppression systems.
The calculations and methodologies followed to estimate direct (Scope 1) GHG emissions were in accordance with the standards GRI 305 and ISO 14064.
Methodologies used to calculate direct (Scope 1) GHG emissions were based on:
-
site-specific data, more specifically the fuel consumed for stationary and mobile purposes and
-
published criteria, more specifically emission factors sourced from DEFRA and EPA and Global Warming Potential (GWP) coefficients.
Fuel quantities were converted into energy quantities using conversion factors officially provided by the State (Regulatory Administrative Act 315/2019).
The consolidation approach chosen was Operational Control.
Based on the published data by the Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC) regarding the contribution of energy sources to the overall fuel mix each year.
2. Fuel consumption was converted to energy using the conversion factors sourced by the state official documents (Regulatory Administrative Act 315/2019).
3. Total energy consumption within the Organization from fuels and electricity per Petabyte. Refers to the total network data traffic (mobile and fixed network).
4. The intensity index was calculated based on the ratio of total CO2 emissions (Scope 1 & 2) per Petabyte.
