Getting started
Return to this guide at any point in the process.
1. Organization and period
Create an organization and inventory. Gather facility details, dates and the responsible person. Permissions remain separate across organizations.
2. Boundaries
Decide which categories apply to each facility and document exclusions. An unassessed category does not mean zero emissions.
3. Activity and factor
Find invoices, consumption records or measurements. Check the factor’s unit, region, year and source. Factors already expressed in CO₂e are not multiplied by GWP again.
4. Interpretation
Review missing data, uncertainty and coverage before interpreting totals. Emissions, removals and biogenic CO₂ remain separate.
5. Revision
Save a revision to reproduce the calculation with its original factors. An updated catalog must not change a closed revision.
