terms and definitions Term Definition Comments/ Reference Scope 3A Emissions Scope 3B Emissions Offset Credit Scope 3 emissions from sources that an airport operator can influence and can therefore be included in an airport’s GHG emissions management programme. Scope 3 emissions from sources that an airport operator cannot influence to any reasonable extent. An offset credit is generated upon the implementation, monitoring, and certification of an off-site project that reduces CO 2 emissions (or sequesters CO 2 ), reductions that would not have occurred without that project. Offsetting Offsetting is to “cancel out” or “neutralize” emissions of CO 2 (and other GHG emissions) by financing projects that reduce CO 2 emissions (or result in the removal of atmospheric CO 2 ) and that would not have otherwise been implemented. Airport operators can achieve this by purchasing properly certified offset credits. Defined for this manual
