PCAF Section 5.6
The section of the PCAF Global GHG Accounting and Reporting Standard that defines the methodology for measuring financed emissions from motor vehicle loan portfolios, including attribution formulas, data quality scoring criteria, and emission factor requirements specific to vehicle financing.
In practice
The section matters because it removes the excuse that a vehicle portfolio is too small to measure. It sets one method for loans, leases and hire purchase, and it asks for the share of coverage rather than claiming the whole book was assessed.
