How does the Emission Factor Library work? Which databases are included?

CarbonX’s Emission Factor (EF) Library is a powerful feature designed to give users the flexibility and precision and precision needed for accurate GHG calculations.

Here’s how it works, and the databases included:

CarbonX’s EF engine offers access to a vast library of EFs from multiple reputable databases. EFs in the library are updated swiftly as the original databases release new versions. Users can perform their calculations by selecting the EFs they need from a variety of sources, including:
→ DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs)
→ DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs)
→ IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)
→ Ecoinvent
→ EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)
→ EEA
→ Base Carbone™ (ADEME)
→ CBAM
→ GLEC
→ EXIOBASE
→ EIME (Environmental Improvement Made Easy)
→ Australian National Life Cycle Inventory Database (AusLCI)
→ ProBas (Prozessorientierte Basisdaten fϋr Umweltmanagement-Instrumente)
→ 3EID
→ BUWAL
→ Environmental Product Declarations (EPD)
→ Canadian Raw Materials Database
→ CEDA
