We are proud to publish our annual greenhouse gas inventory report for our 2021 operations.
As before, we have calculated our carbon footprint in accordance with international best practice (the GHG Protocol) and report on our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions. This year, we expanded our Scope 3 reporting to include purchases/use of IT assets and office paper (as well as the previously reported business travel and employee commuting).
We have reached net zero emissions through a combination of avoidance actions, purchases of certified green electricity, exports of clean solar energy from our PV system and through funding tree-planting via TreeEra.

Neat!
Can you comment on the value of your solar PV array? My own electricity purchased from the grid is becoming quite expensive. The "energy only" part is above $0.16/kWh which is absurd. You, on the other hand, can harvest photons for free and amortize the up-front costs quicker when the grid price is high. Can you tell us what the payback period was when you started the PV project, and what the forcast is now that the utility prices are rising?
