Energy Expert lets you analyze carbon accounting results online by emission category, emission scope, and electricity composition, and download reports and raw data.
On the Emission Analysis page, view carbon accounting results at the organization or site level. The page shows total carbon emissions, emission details by category or scope, emission proportions, and electricity composition.
Use this page to:
Identify which emission category or scope contributes most to your total footprint
Compare carbon emissions across organizations and sites
Track monthly emission trends by greenhouse gas (GHG) type
Download formatted reports for auditors or raw data for further analysis
Carbon emission details by category
Use this tab to identify which emission categories drive your total footprint and drill into the composition of each.
ISO 14064-1:2006 defines six emission categories:
|
Category |
Name |
|
Category 1 |
Direct GHG emissions and removals |
|
Category 2 |
Indirect GHG emissions from imported energy |
|
Category 3 |
Indirect GHG emissions from transportation |
|
Category 4 |
Indirect GHG emissions from products used by an organization |
|
Category 5 |
Indirect GHG emissions associated with the use of products from the organization |
|
Category 6 |
Indirect GHG emissions from other sources |
Click the Carbon Emission Details (by category) tab to view the analysis results.
Click Total or a category to view emission details: total carbon emissions, proportions of emission categories or sub-categories, proportions of GHG emissions, and a monthly emission trend chart.
In the Carbon Emissions Breakdown section, view the composition of each emission source. The section shows emissions and proportions by facility or activity, by category and sub-category, and by GHG type for each facility or activity. Toggle categories and sub-categories on or off to focus on specific sources.
If you open the Emission Analysis page for an organization, an Emissions by organization section appears. Use it to compare carbon emissions across organizations and sites.
Carbon emission details by scope
Use this tab when you need a scope-level view of your emissions — for example, to separate direct operations (Scope 1) from energy purchases (Scope 2) and supply chain activities (Scope 3).
ISO 14064-1:2006 maps the six categories to three scopes:
|
Scope |
Definition |
Categories |
|
Scope 1 |
Direct emissions from sources controlled or owned by the enterprise |
Category 1 |
|
Scope 2 |
Indirect emissions from purchased energy (steam, heating, cooling) |
Category 2 |
|
Scope 3 |
All other indirect emissions across the upstream and downstream supply chain and value chain |
Categories 3–6 |
Click the Carbon Emission Details (by scope) tab. The view shows the same emission details as the by-category tab, grouped by scope.
Electricity composition analysis
Use this tab to see how different electricity sources (by property) contribute to your Category 2 emissions, and track consumption trends by electricity type month over month.
This tab is only available if you have selected an emission source under By Electricity Property in the Facility/activity configuration panel when setting up a carbon accounting template for the sub-category Indirect emissions from imported electricity (Category 2). For details, see Configure emission facilities or activities.
After completing the configuration, click the Electricity Composition Analysis tab on the Emission Analysis page. The tab shows electricity consumption, proportion, and monthly trend by electricity property.
Download carbon accounting reports and data
Energy Expert provides two downloads from the Emission Analysis page:
