Definition
GHG Emission Calculation Tools are any software tools that implement specified GHG Emissions Calculation Approaches on the basis of collected activity data, emission factors and other input data sets and defined formulas.
There are two main categories of calculation tools:[1]
- Cross-sector tools that can be applied to different sectors. These include stationary combustion, mobile combustion, HFC use in refrigeration and air conditioning, and measurement and estimation uncertainty.
- Sector-specific tools that are designed to calculate emissions in specific sectors such as aluminum, iron and steel, cement, oil and gas, pulp and paper, office-based organizations.
