How it works

Three passes, one afternoon.

01

Set the boundary

Legal entity, country, reporting year, sites, headcount, floor area and revenue. This is what turns a raw total into a comparable figure.

02

Enter what you consumed

Gas, fleet litres, refrigerant top-ups, electricity and its green share, district heat, travel, waste, water, freight and spend.

03

Export the inventory

Scope 1–3 with dual Scope 2, intensity ratios, ranked reduction actions and the audit PDF — in one pass.

Built for the review

What makes it hold up.

The grid factor for your country, not someone else's

Electricity is the one factor that really depends on where you operate. Pick your country and the engine resolves it — national authority where one publishes a mandatory figure, Ember's generation intensity otherwise. Not on the list? Enter your own and the report prints that.

Dual Scope 2, not one flattering number

Location-based on your grid mix, market-based crediting the share you cover with certificates. The GHG Protocol asks for both, so both are always in the file — and your supplier's own factor takes precedence when you have it.

A target, not just a total

Lock a base year and put it on the SBTi cross-sector pathway — 4.2% a year for Scope 1+2, 2.5% for Scope 3. Every inventory is then measured against the trajectory, and the PDF states whether you are inside it or above it.

The intensity ratios your board asks for

Tonnes per FTE, kilograms per m² and tonnes per million units of revenue in your reporting currency, calculated the moment you fill in headcount, floor area and turnover.

An audit file, not a screenshot

Four pages: cover with the headline total, executive summary with the scope split, the full activity table, and a factor appendix with every source listed.

Every number is traceable

Each line prints its quantity, factor, unit and GHG category. Screening estimates are labelled as screening estimates instead of being buried.

Scope 3 where it actually lands

Flights split by distance band, commuting, rail and public transport, hotel nights, freight tonne-kilometres, waste, water and spend-based purchased goods.

Your data stays yours

An account is required. Every inventory is row-level isolated to that account, so the work is still there if you later take a paid plan.

The report

What lands in the PDF.

One file you can attach to a tender, hand to an accountant, or file with your annual report. It states its own limits on the cover, because a report that oversells itself is worthless in a review.

Check the factors first
  1. Cover

    Entity, registration number, country, reporting year, boundary and the headline market-based total with all four scope figures.

  2. Executive summary

    Scope split bar, the three intensity ratios, and reduction actions ranked by your largest sources.

  3. Target

    If you have set a reduction target: the pathway, the budget for this year, and whether each line is on track.

  4. Activity table

    Every line with quantity, unit, factor, GHG category, kilograms and tonnes. Empty sources omitted.

  5. Appendix A

    The two electricity factors actually applied and where they came from, the full factor set with notes and links, plus the boundary in plain language.

Methodology

Every factor, before you type a figure.

This is the complete factor set the engine runs on, published in full, including the grid factor for every country we cover and where each one comes from. Check it against your own list first — if the numbers do not match what your auditor expects, you should know that before you enter a single kilowatt hour.

Scope 2

Dual

Market-based and location-based, always both

How the engine calculates

  1. 1. Scope 1. Stationary fuels, fleet litres and leaked refrigerant. Litres beat kilometres when both exist.
  2. 2. Scope 2 market-based. Electricity covered by cancelled certificates counts as 0 kg/kWh. The rest uses your supplier or residual-mix factor if you enter one, otherwise the country grid average.
  3. 3. Scope 2 location-based. All kilowatt hours at the grid factor for your country of operation, plus the same district-heat line. Always shown next to the market-based total.
  4. 4. Scope 3 screening. Travel by distance band, hotels, waste, water, freight and a spend-based Category 1 placeholder.
  5. 5. Intensities. tCO₂e per FTE, kg per m² and tCO₂e per million units of revenue when those denominators are filled in.

Electricity grid factors by country

Electricity is the one factor that genuinely depends on where you operate. Where a national authority publishes a mandatory factor we use it; everywhere else we use Ember's generation intensity for that country. Operating somewhere not listed? Enter your own factor and the report prints that instead.

Fuel, travel and screening factors

These are well-to-wheel CO₂-eq values from the 2025 CO2emissiefactoren.nl list. Combustion factors follow fuel chemistry and upstream supply rather than national borders, so they transfer between countries. Align the factor year with your inventory year and recalculate if you report a different year.

Reduction targets and pathways

A target is a base year, a rate and a target year. The SBTi cross-sector Absolute Contraction Approach cuts a fixed share of the base year every year, so the reduction is linear rather than compounding: 4.2% a year over ten years is the familiar 42% cut. Scope 1+2 must meet a 1.5°C pathway; near-term Scope 3 only has to meet well-below 2°C, which is why the two lines run at different rates.

Scope 1 + 2

4.2%

a year, 1.5°C minimum

Scope 3

2.5%

a year, well-below 2°C minimum

Scope 3 threshold

40%

above this, Scope 3 needs its own target

These are SBTi's minimum rates. Since Corporate Net-Zero Standard V1.3.1 the required rate is adjusted upward based on how much time separates your base year from the pathway's net-zero year, with 4.2% as the floor. We model the floor and label it as such, because a floor we can cite beats a dynamic rate we would have to guess at. Nothing here is a validated SBTi target — validation is something only the SBTi can do.

National targets used as a benchmark

These are country obligations, not company obligations. They sit next to your own trajectory so a board can see whether it is moving faster or slower than the economy it sells into. A blank means we hold no figure we could attribute to a named source, not that the country has no policy.

What this is not

The PDF is an automated GHG inventory, not limited or reasonable assurance. Spend-based purchased goods, hotel nights and residual waste are screening values, and the spend factor is calibrated on euros, so convert if you report in another currency. District heat carries a single default factor because heat networks vary far too much to guess — replace it with your network's published figure. Where no residual mix is published for your market, the grid average stands in for untracked electricity, which the Scope 2 Guidance permits but your supplier's own factor beats. Replace these lines with primary data before an external audit.
