Emission Factor Mappings

This section allows the user to map a desired expression to the relevant emission category, asset class and activity type for processing purposes.

Figure 10-7 The Activity Type- Emission Factor- Expression tab

Emission Factor Category- This drop-down list contains the group level emission factor categories. This value is set in the instrument table.
Asset Class- This drop-down list contains the pre-seeded asset classes.
Activity Type- This drop-down list contains two pre-seeded activity types; Distance Travelled and Fuel Consumed
Method of Measurement- This drop-down list contains the pre-seeded method of measurements
Reporting Emission Category- This drop-down list contains pre-seeded emission categories. The final value that appears in this drop-down list is computed depending on the values that were selected in the Emission Factor Category, Asset Class, and Activity Type fields.
Expression- This drop-down list contains the list of pre-seeded defined expressions.
Add New Row- Click this button to add a new row to the table in order to map a new expression to an emission category, asset class, activity type, emission factor category. The same Emission Category can be mapped to a different Asset Class, Activity Type and Expression.
Download- Use this button to download the expression in a .csv format.
View- Click this icon to view the expression in View mode.
Delete- Click this icon adjacent to a row to delete it.

This section allows the user to map a desired emission factor hierarchy to an emission factor database source for processing purposes.

Figure 10-8 The Emission Factor Database- Hierarchy tab

Emission Factor Database Source- This field contains the source database for a particular hierarchy.
Emission Category Hierarchy- This drop-down list contains a list of hierarchies that need to be used for a particular emission factor database. Out-of-the-box hierarchies defined by the user are supported.
View- Click this icon to view the hierarchy information of the emission category.:
- If a hierarchy was selected in the Emission Category Hierarchy field, then the Dimension, Folder, and Hierarchy fields are disabled and this window will be in View mode.
- If no hierarchy was selected in the Emission Category Hierarchy field, then the Dimension, Folder, and Hierarchy fields are enabled and the hierarchy details can be configured and viewed.

This section allows the user to map a desired expression to the relevant climate ratio like WACI, Carbon Intensity for processing purposes.

Figure 10-9 The Emission Factor Database- Climate Ratio tab

Climate Ratio- This column contains the newly added matrix name.
Expression- This drop-down list contains a list of expressions that can be mapped to repective matrix/attribute
View- Click this icon to view the hierarchy information of the emission category.
