# Scopes & Categories

## GHG Scopes and Categories in BraveGen Carbon

BraveGen Carbon supports the classification of your carbon [inventory items](/carbon/core-concepts/inventory-items.md) via GHG Protocol Scope and Category. These are set via an [inventory rule](/carbon/core-concepts/inventory-items/inventory-rules.md), or directly on a [spend-based inventory item](/carbon/core-concepts/inventory-items/spend-based-inventory.md).

### [Scope 1 ](/carbon/configuration/reporting-frameworks/ghg-protocol/scopes-and-categories/scope-1.md)

Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources.

* [Stationary Fuel Combustion](/carbon/configuration/reporting-frameworks/ghg-protocol/scopes-and-categories/scope-1/stationary-fuel-combustion.md)
* [Physical or Chemical Processing](/carbon/configuration/reporting-frameworks/ghg-protocol/scopes-and-categories/scope-1/physical-or-chemical-processing.md)
* [Mobile Combustion](/carbon/configuration/reporting-frameworks/ghg-protocol/scopes-and-categories/scope-1/mobile-combustion.md)
* [Fugitive Emissions](/carbon/configuration/reporting-frameworks/ghg-protocol/scopes-and-categories/scope-1/fugitive-emissions.md)
* [Direct Emissions from Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF)](/carbon/configuration/reporting-frameworks/ghg-protocol/scopes-and-categories/scope-1/direct-emissions-from-land-use-land-use-change-and-forestry-lulucf.md)

### [Scope 2](/carbon/configuration/reporting-frameworks/ghg-protocol/scopes-and-categories/scope-2.md)

Indirect emissions from purchased energy.

* [Indirect Emissions from Imported Electricity — Location Based](/carbon/configuration/reporting-frameworks/ghg-protocol/scopes-and-categories/scope-2/indirect-emissions-from-imported-electricity-location-based.md)
* [Indirect Emissions from Imported Electricity — Market Based](/carbon/configuration/reporting-frameworks/ghg-protocol/scopes-and-categories/scope-2/indirect-emissions-from-imported-electricity-market-based.md)
* [Indirect Emissions from Imported Energy](/carbon/configuration/reporting-frameworks/ghg-protocol/scopes-and-categories/scope-2/indirect-emissions-from-imported-energy.md)

### [Scope 3](/carbon/configuration/reporting-frameworks/ghg-protocol/scopes-and-categories/scope-3.md)

Other indirect emissions across the value chain.
