2023 December
We have some exciting product updates for you involving Custom Fields and new Datasets! Find out more in our monthly product update.
What's new?
Custom Fields
In this release we’re introducing Custom fields to further align your Emissions Inventory to your data and workflow needs. These fields have many possible uses, such as marking entries for review, grouping by product, or simply adding additional information.
Custom fields are created and managed from the Company Account settings and are specific to one company account. They take the form of dropdown inputs, with options defined by the user.
Custom fields can be used for filtering and sorting within the Inventory. By default these fields will be hidden in the Inventory table – to see them either enable the field via the Properties control or open the entry in the Detail Pane.
UK Gov Dataset updates
The UK Gov dataset is now also available to be explored as a Connected Dataset. You will be able to find all emission factors through the Emission Factor Library, to be searched or to be used in non-standard activity categories.
Additionally, factors like hotel stay and homeworking are now available as integrated factors in the inventory dropdowns. They can be used in categories such as Business Travel and Commuting.
Finally, the energy-related values for transport expressed as distance (kWh per km travelled) are now available as well in the inventory.
Exiobase Spend-based Emissions Factors
The Exiobase (version 3.8.2) dataset has been added to the Factor Library. As such, you can use spend-based emission factors for your spendings around the world. We created a dedicated support page to help you for a correct use of the spend-based approach with also some further details on the Exiobase dataset.
We performed corrections on the original data from Exiobase for the user to:
Have the most recent Global Warming Potential values of the 6th Assessment Report.
Use spendings in EUR, GBP and USD for which they find the emission factor in the Factor library.
Use spendings of 2018 to 2022 for which the emission factors is adjusted when the entry is created based on the period date.
