## Definition

**Residual Emissions means \[a party’s\] [GHG Emissions](https://chancerylaneproject.org/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/glossary-term/greenhouse-gas-emissions.md) \[from all operations including its value chain\] that are emitted after all reasonable efforts have been made to reduce them.**

**Residual Emissions** are any [GHG Emissions](https://chancerylaneproject.org/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/glossary-term/greenhouse-gas-emissions.md) which remain after a project or organisation has implemented all technically and economically feasible opportunities, as determined by a [Climate Professional](https://chancerylaneproject.org/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/glossary-term/climate-professional.md) as part of a [Carbon Footprint](https://chancerylaneproject.org/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/glossary-term/carbon-footprint.md) assessment, to reduce emissions in all scopes and from all sources.
