What information to provide to the support team for a request to create a specific emission factor?

Updated over 2 months ago

To preserve its database and ensure a good methodology, Toovalu does not allow users to create emission factors by themselves: you must go through our support team!

In order to create your specific emission factor smoothly, we need a certain amount of information:

  • The name of the FE

  • The keywords you wish to associate with it

  • The assumptions and the source used for creating the emission factor

  • The geographical location of your emission factor (Examples: mainland France, Slovenia, Europe)

  • The category of the database to which it is associated (Example: Purchases of goods > Machines and equipment > Household appliances). You can find the existing categories here.

  • The value of the FE

  • Its unit

  • If possible, its uncertainty in %

  • Its structure, that is to say whether the FE is not decomposed, decomposed by gas, decomposed by position, or decomposed by gas and position

Thanks to all this information, your specific emission factor can be added to your organization!
