Importing Fuel Type Emissions Factors
Overview
The Fuel Types section displays the list of fuels that are used by the organisation. WiredUp will deploy a starting data set with a list of fuels and corresponding information for each. The user can also input new fuel types if it isn't within the default data set.
Configuring Fuel Types
Navigate to Impact > Emissions, then click on the three-bar menu on the left-hand side, then click Fuel Types. |
The Fuel Types page will display. Depending on permissions, users can edit and add fuel type information in line. To create a new fuel type entry, start by entering the name of the fuel type in +Add.
To create a new Fuel Type entry, type the name of the fuel here, hit enter to create and input the corresponding fields | |
The state of the Fuel Type (Solid, Gaseous or Liquid) | |
The name of the fuel combusted | |
To get the Emission scope 1 Factor, enter the values for CO2,CH4 and N2O, the system will sum the 3 values to give you the combined CO2 | |
The amount of energy in the fuel combusted. Enter value and unit of the Energy contact factor for the fuel type in GJ | |
How much carbon the fuel emits converted to its corresponding unit. The system will multiply the combined CO2 by the Energy Factor | |
Capturing the Scope 3 value if applicable. If this does not exist you can enter N/A or NE(No Emissions) or leave Null | |
Click this icon to delete an existing Fuel Type |
When making changes for the first time, a dialogue box will appear for you to provide a reason for changing the data. Enter your reason and hit Confirm. |
Note: Fuel Type and Fuel Combusted can be set as global local using the "eye' icon. User can decide to make it shared, or only available to the local site. This is also based on your permission and access.
Warning: Changing fuel type data entries require appropriate permissions to be allocated. See Setting permissions for Emissions Management.
Importing Fuel Type Emissions Factors
Fuel-type emission factors can also be imported as detailed in Importing data for Emissions Management.
Next steps
Now that you have created the list of all Fuel Types used in operations, the next step is to enter Grid Electricity data.
