Why Join?

The Emission Factor Lab will help your company navigate how to best use of emission factors for accurate Scope 3 reporting and tracking progress toward Scope 3 targets. You will gain a deeper understanding of how to apply emission factors effectively, ensuring that value chain intervention outcomes are reflected correctly in corporate emissions inventories. 

Through expert-led discussions, we will explore different approaches for the developing and using Emission Factors, assess their implications, and develop guidance for reporting. The Lab will also help develop a common framework to support decision-making on Emission Factors, ensuring transparency and credibility.

Key Challenges We Want to Address

Key Challenges We Want to Address

Integrating Primary Data: With increasing pressure to use primary data, companies struggle with integrating it into emission factor calculations due to a lack of clear methodology. 

Lack of Guidance: Standards and frameworks provide limited guidance, leading to inconsistencies and making it difficult to compare emissions data across companies. 

Reliance on Generic Emission Factors: Many companies use generic emission factors that don’t reflect their specific context or the impact of interventions, affecting the accuracy of their reporting. 

Lack of Trust and Transparency: Inconsistent emission factors and limited guidance contribute to a general lack of trust in the data, making it harder for companies to credibly report their decarbonization progress.
