Resource: What are emissions factors? And where can I find them? (by GHGI)

If you’re a greenhouse gas (GHG) expert, you know emission factors (EFs) are an essential input to your work in carbon accounting. While performing emissions calculations you have surely experienced the challenge of locating and identifying the most representative and up-to-date EF for your work. This blog is here to help you the next time you begin this task by identifying the major EF databases available for your use. But first, let’s cover the basics…what is an emission factor?
