Definition
Activity Data are quantitative measures of a level of activity that results in GHG Emissions. It is a measure that models what is taking place during a given period of time (e.g., volume of gas used, kilometers driven, tonnes of solid waste sent to landfill, etc.)
Data Sourcing (Collection) is an integral part of developing and updating a GHG Inventory. This includes gathering existing data, generating new data, and adapting data for inventory use. [1]
Usage
Activity data is multiplied by an GHG Emission Factor to derive the GHG emissions associated with a process or an operation. [2]
Examples
- kilowatt-hours of electricity used
- quantity of fuel used
- output of a process
- hours equipment is operated
- distance traveled, and
- floor area of a building
