- Provide a detailed disclosure of biogenic emissions of CO2 resulting from the combustion or bio-degradation of biomass, ensuring these emissions are reported separately from the gross Scope 1 GHG emissions. Additionally, include emissions of other greenhouse gases, specifically CH4 and N2O, as part of this disclosure. This requirement is in accordance with Disclosure Requirement E1-9, which pertains to the anticipated financial effects from material physical and transition risks and potential climate-related opportunities. Note that a quantification of financial effects from opportunities is not mandatory if it does not align with the qualitative characteristics of useful information as outlined in ESRS 1 Appendix B.
