How Can I Customize Emission Factors in CarbonX, and Why Does It Matter?

Emission Factor (EF) customization is available in the Booster, AI Agents, and Enterprise plans — allowing you to tailor your carbon calculations to reflect specific suppliers, regions, or operational parameters. This feature is key to improving the accuracy, credibility, and regulatory compliance of your GHG inventory, particularly for organizations in complex or highly regulated sectors.

Booster Plan

Manually define custom emission factors through the EF Customization Form. Enter details such as activity name, source, year, region, unit, scope, and uncertainty — then assign them to relevant facilities and emission categories for precise reporting.

AI Agents Plan

Leverage AI-driven EF matching for automated accuracy. The CarbonX Climate Analyst Agent intelligently selects the most suitable emission factor from a database of 500,000+ verified entries. Users can still define and prioritize custom factors when supplier-specific or internal data is available.

Enterprise Plan

Unlock full customization capabilities with onboarding and configuration support. Enterprise users can apply internal methodologies, integrate proprietary datasets, or add custom validation logic for sector-specific compliance.
