When publishing your carbon balance report, whether on the ADEME website or with other organizations, it is very useful to publish it according to a regulatory format, called the BEGES format or the GHG Protocol format.
In the Toovalu tool, it is possible to perform this action in a nearly automated way. Indeed, when you are in the administration section (red banner), and you access the collection template, you can click on "Set up for regulatory export".
You then arrive on the page where you can set the BEGES or GHG categories for each of your collection lines.
The latter, especially if you have used a lot of EF from ADEME, are already set.
The setup is done automatically based on the categorization of the EF.
On the other hand, if you have other EFs that do not come from our initial database, or if you noticed an error in the default setup, you can modify the categorization yourself by clicking on the pencil icon at the end of the line.
Note that data without a category assigned by default are marked with a red exclamation point ⬇️
You can then choose the category that corresponds to your data.
If you modify the category set by default, this will be indicated to you by this pencil symbol.
However, you need to know in which category BEGES or GHG to classify your collection line.
To help you choose this category correctly, here are the matches between BEGES V5 categories, those of the Carbon Balance, and those of the GHG Protocol.
Then, you can also define the scope of the data for the GHG Protocol export.
4 options are available to you:
Minimal: mandatory data to account for according to GHGp
Minimal FLAG: to be used only with agricultural/agribusiness data involved in livestock and land use.
Optional: non-mandatory data in GHGp but you choose to account for them because you simply want visibility on this data or because they represent a significant share of your emissions.
Excluded: data that are not counted according to GHGp but you still want to have an overview and manage them.
You now know how to set up your BEGES export on the Toovalu Impact tool!
To then export your project in the desired format, simply go to the collection side of the tool and click on the Export Data icon ⬇️
ℹ️ The setup of regulatory exports is available even if your campaign is closed. Be sure to go to the modification of your closed campaign to have control over your campaign template.
