The “Factors” tab appears in reports:
It shows the emission factors in effect during the relevant report month range.
Columns:
Emission Factor Type
AIR_TRAVEL_EMISSION_FACTOR
COAL_MINING_EMISSION_FACTOR
ELECTRICITY_EMISSION_FACTOR
GENERAL_EMISSION_FACTOR
GWP_EMISSION_FACTOR
PAPER_EMISSION_FACTOR
SCOPE_3_NATURAL_GAS_EMISSION_FACTOR
SOLID_LIQUID_GAS_EMISSION_FACTOR
STAFF_TRAVEL_EMISSION_FACTOR
SCOPE_3_SUPPLY_CHAIN_EMISSION_FACTOR
TAXI_TRAVEL_EMISSION_FACTOR
WASTE_EMISSION_FACTOR
WATER_EMISSION_FACTOR
Emission Factor Sub Type (only for factor type = SOLID_LIQUID_GAS_EMISSION_FACTOR)

TRANSPORT
Lookup1, Lookup2, Lookup3, …
Different activities and calculators require different lookups to select which emission factor value to use. “Lookups” may include fuel type, scope, unit and state
Lookup1Value, Lookup2Value, Lookup3Value, …
The value for the lookup pair (e.g. pair Lookup1, Lookup1Value)
Factor1, Factor2, …, Factor13
Once the emission factor has been identified via lookups, there may be a number of factor components that have to be applied in emission calculations.
Some activity calculations like GWP only have a single factor value, however others have more (staff travel has thirteen)
