Point-source capture at a facility within the organisational boundary translates into a scope 1 reduction equal to the CO₂ actually injected and verified in the storage well (rather than the facility's nominal capacity). The capture process's additional energy consumption must be included (typically 15 to 30% of the facility's energy), as it remains residual emissions. Capture is not atmospheric removal and cannot be counted as a negative removal: it is emissions avoidance. The annual report must document the captured flow (MMV measurements) and actual injection rate.
