SECR (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting). Guidance released in March 2019 relating to new streamlined approach to streamline reporting. We can provide support with data collection, and report writing.
In a nutshell ("what kind of nut comes in a shell this big" - guess the film), it involves populating the below table, replacing the below figures with one you have calculated for your own operation. You can down load a template using the link in the last paragraph of this page.
Note: There is a large table on this page which may be hidden if you are viewing this page, on a device with a small screen.

[1] This assumes that the organisation has eligible renewable electricity purchases and/or certified grid-injected biogas purchases to report.
[2] If you were conforming to the GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard emissions would either be quantified or a justification given for their exclusion based on their relevance. However, it is recognised that most companies are not yet at the stage of being able to estimate emissions for all categories.
[3] If the reporting company is an initial sponsor or lender of a project, also account for the projected lifetime emissions of relevant projects financed during the reporting year and report those emissions separately from scope 3.

Using the phrase "nutshell" reminded me of the

Nutshell moment, video to the right. If you have made it this
far you deserve a break.
