	Greenhouse ~~gas emissions~~ are categorised into three groups or 'Scopes' by the most widely-used international accounting tool, the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol. Scope 1 covers direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating and cooling consumed by the reporting company. Scope 3 includes all other indirect emissions that occur in a company’s value chain.

	Water vapour accounts for the largest percentage of the greenhouse effect. When the sky is clear the greenhouse effect of water vapour is lower than when the sky is very cloudy. Human activities do not directly influence the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere except for the local scale. For example the use of water irrigation. Even though water vapour is a greenhouse gas it is not the cause of global warming. Water vapour is an indirect effect of global warming also called water vapour feedback. Because of global warming, there is more water vapour in the atmosphere, as a result, there is positive feedback resulting in more heat getting trapped. However, the cloud does also reflect solar radiation. Even though water vapour accounts for the largest percentage of the greenhouse effect, water vapour has been stable and has an average residence of 9 days compared to centuries like other GHG. Therefore water vapour is not the biggest concern in the case of global warming and climate change.		Water vapour accounts for the largest percentage of the greenhouse effect.

 * Industry: Perfluorocarbons are produced as a by-product of aluminium production and are used in the manufacturing of semiconductors, sulfur hexafluoride is used in magnesium processing and semiconductor manufacturing and as a tracer gas for leak detection. Nitrogen trifluoride is used in semiconductor manufacturing.
 * Transmission and distribution of electricity: Sulfur hexafluoride is used as an insulating gas in electrical transmission equipment including circuit breaks. The GWP of sulfur fluoride is 22,800 GWP making it de most potent greenhouse gas that the intergovernmental penal on climate change has evaluated
