What residual emissions is about
Residual emissions commonly refer to emissions that remain after a stated reduction effort or pathway. The term is meaningful only when a reader can see the boundary, time period, inventory method, reduction context, and the framework using it.

Questions that keep the evidence trail open
What inventory and period are used? What reductions have been made or planned? Which framework defines residual emissions? How is any separate credit use documented?
