Extra emission factor setup

Depending on which Emission Factor Sets you use, there might be extra setup required to complete the factor calculations.

Vehicle laden codes

Some emission factor sets consider the different emissions produced by transport vehicles that are loaded fully, partially or empty. This can help inform planning of logistics to effectively reduce emissions related to transport.

Navigate to the Vehicle Laden Codes page to create a new code, or adjust the Mappings of codes to the relevant Emission Factor Sets.

Visit the Continia Docs article about Vehicle Laden Codes for more detailed information.

Waste disposal methods

Some emission factor sets include different waste disposal or treatment methods for materials, and include this factor along with the factor for the materials. For example, landfill, composting and re-use of materials all contribute differently to the emissions of materials disposal.

Navigate to the Waste Disposal Methods page to create a new code, or adjust the Mappings of codes to the relevant Emission Factor Sets.

Visit the Continia Docs article about Waste Disposal Methods for more detailed information.

Material sources

Some emission factor sets consider more details about the origin of materials. For example, emissions can be calculated differently for primary materials compared to materials sourced from closed-loop processes that involve re-using components from previously used similar goods.

Navigate to the Material Sources page to create a new code, or adjust the Mappings of codes to the relevant Emission Factor Sets.
