Parameter Scope 1 Scope 1 Mobile Scope 1 Scope 2 Scope 3 Result Emission Introduction Input Stationary Combustion Refrigerants Purchased Transportation Summary Factors Combustion Electricity Welcome to the GHG Emissions Calculation Tool A calculation tool for estimating GHG emissions based on the GHG Protocol ● How to use this tool: • Fill in company and facility information in the "Parameters" sheet. Also, provide any custom emission factors here for use in subsequent worksheets. • The tool uses default emission factors, which vary by country. These are free to use and publicly available, and the tool includes links of where to obtain them. Currently, separate sets of emission factors are available for the UK and US. Location-based Scope 2 emission factors are also available for the US, Canada and Australia, while market-based residual mix emission factors are available for the US, Canada and all European counties. • On the "Parameters" tab, users can supply custom emission factors, adjust the default global warming potentials and choose whether to use radiative forcing factors for air travel. • The maximum number of facilities for this tool is 10. Additional rows cannot be added to the Facility table. • Use each of the sheets to input inventory data for the various activities. Make sure to choose custom emission factors, if any, and to select the proper units. • If the results don't show, please make sure that all the relevant options have been selected and that the correct Emission Factors have been chosen. • To add more rows to any table, click on the "Insert Row" button next to the table. Do not try adding rows manually as that might affect the cell formulae. • The GHG emissions results for each activity types are provided in the "Results Summary" sheet, with an option to print the results. Data entry fields are color-coded as follows to guide you: light blue: numerical or text data entry orange: option selection (dropdown data entry field) light gray: data that you cannot edit on the current page teal: cells that should not be edited as they are not relevant for the selected options Disclaimer: the tool does not necessarily cover all sources relevant to the user This tool covers the following cross-sectoral emission sources: Scope 1 - Stationary Combustion, Mobile Combustion, and Fugitive Emissions from Air Conditioning Scope 2 - Purchased Electricity and Purchased Heat/Steam Scope 3 - Upstream Transportation and Distribution, Business Travel, and Employee Commuting Companies will have other emissions sources in their value chain and potentially also their internal operations. Companies should strive to calculate these other emissions, when appropriate. The WRI/Quantis Scope 3 Evaluator offers one approach for estimating emissions for a number of upstream scope 3 categories. Designed and built by Parameters 1Enter company information, choose the GWP dataset (AR4 or AR5), and select whether to use RF factors for Business Air Travel emissions. 2Enter the facility information including name, location (city and country), Facility ID and Grid Region. NOTE: The Grid Region is important to select for Scope 2 Purchased Electricity calculations. This drop-down will populate based on the selection of the facility country 3Enter information for Custom Emission Factors if any are used in the Custom Emission Factors table. This list will be shown on the calculation tables if "Custom Emission Factors" are chosen in the table for each calculation. Examples of calculations are provided throughout the tool. Please ensure that you remove these example calculations, so they are not included in your final results S1 - Stationary Combustion 1Enter Facility ID and Year from the drop-downs. 2Select the relevant "Custom Emission Factors" drop-down. NOTE: This is important to select even if you are not using custom emission factors. Fuel drop-down only becomes available once the Custom Emission Factors drop-down is selected as “No”. If the Custom Emission Factors is selected as “Yes”, the drop-down will connect to the Custom Emission Factors table in the “Parameters” tab. 3The Fuel drop-down will display options based on the previous field selection. If "Custom Emission Factors" are selected as yes, the field will populate from the Custom Emission Factors table in the Parameters Tab. 4Enter the amount of fuel used and the units. 5Total GHG emissions for that activity will be calculated at the bottom of the table and will be available in the Results Summary Tab. Examples of calculations are provided throughout the tool. Please ensure that you remove these example calculations, so they are not included in your final results S1 - Mobile Combustion 1Enter Facility ID and Year from the drop-downs. The Description field is optional and can be added as well. 2Enter Activity Type. NOTE: When “custom emission factor” is selected, the drop-downs are connect to the Custom Emission Factors table in the “Parameters” tab, so will have to enter the custom emission factor in that table for it to show up. 3Select the relevant Fuel Source and Vehicle Type for all Activity Types. 4Enter the Activity Amount and Units. The Units will change depending on the Activity Type selected. NOTE: Distance Activity will have Units in distance. For Distance Activity, a default mileage value will be used for vehicles that is available in the emission factors tab 5Total GHG emissions for that activity will be calculated at the bottom of the table and will be available in the Results Summary Tab. Examples of calculations are provided throughout the tool. Please ensure that you remove these example calculations, so they are not included in your final results S1 - Refrigerants 1Choose the relevant calculation method from the "Calculation Method" drop-down. 2Based on the calculation method selection, the appropriate table will appear to enter data for refrigerant use. 3Enter all information in the Table, including the Year, Facility ID, type of refrigerant used and quantity. 4Total GHG emissions for that activity will be calculated at the bottom of the table and will be available in the Results Summary Tab. Examples of calculations are provided throughout the tool. Please ensure that you remove these example calculations, so they are not included in your final results S2 - Purchased Electricity 1Enter Facility ID and Year from the drop-downs. 2Enter the amount of electricity/heat consumption and the units. 3Choose the correct calculation approach. NOTE: Each approach has the option to select a Custom Emission Factor and the Grid Average Emission Factor. The Purchased Electricity - Market Based option has an additional option to select the Residual Mix emission factors. When “custom emission factor” is selected, the drop-downs are connect to the Custom Emission Factors table in the “Parameters” tab, so the custom emission factor must be entered in that table for it to show up. 4 It is important to select the Grid Region for the Facility in the "Parameters" Tab for the correct emission factor to show. If the selected region does not have an associated emission factor, the cell will remain blank. 5Total GHG emissions for that activity will be calculated at the bottom of the table and will be available in the Results Summary Tab.
