Each party reports its own figure — Scope 1–2 for a production step, the transport of the container for the carrier — and the emissions that arrived with the material. The carrier relays the refiner’s figure with the container; it is counted in Category 1, not as the carrier’s. The customer’s Scope 3 for the container is the carrier’s reported total: Category 1 from the mine and the refiner, Category 4 from the carrier.

The answer (15:09) lays out the chain in order, mine → refiner → carrier. Each transaction has its id as a link, its event, parent and category, its own figure — Scope 1–2, or the transport of the container for Ferrovane — the embedded emissions it received — Quillara’s not applicable, no upstream party — its review status and the times it was interpreted and accepted, and under it its method flag, verification and source of data. Below, how they roll up: the customer’s Scope 3, 38.2 tCO2e, is Ferrovane’s reported total. Opens STS-SH-0001 1.
