⚠️ Pre-calculated emissions are only available for beta-users for now. We will notify you when this feature becomes available.
This article explains what data you need to provide when uploading pre-calculated emissions for Direct Gas Release activities.
What activities does Direct Gas Release cover?
The Direct Gas Release activity area includes these specific activities:
Release of Direct Emissions from Operations
Release of Fugitive Emissions
These activities capture direct greenhouse gas releases from your operations, such as refrigerant leaks, process emissions, flaring, or other intentional and unintentional gas releases.
Required data fields
Basic information (required for all activities)
Facility Name
Select the facility where emissions should be allocated
Choose from your existing facilities in the platform
Activity Name
Select the specific gas release activity:
Release of Direct Emissions from Operations: For intentional gas releases from operational processes
Release of Fugitive Emissions: For unintentional leaks and fugitive emissions
This determines the most appropriate scope category assignment
Calculation Method
By default, all emissions would be assigned to Direct Gas Release calculation method
GHG Calculation Method
By default, all emissions would be assigned to Average Data Method calculation method
Start Date and End Date
Provide the period your emissions cover
End date must be after start date
Use specific dates for individual incidents or broader periods for ongoing emissions
Input Quantity and Input Unit
Enter the activity data quantity (e.g., 15.5, 250)
Select the appropriate unit:
Weight units: kg, t, lb for gas quantities released
Volume units: m³, ft³ for gas volumes
This enables complete analysis capabilities in the platform
Emission Quantity (kgCO₂e)
Enter your total calculated emissions in kgCO₂e
This should account for the global warming potential (GWP) of the specific gases released
Scope Category
By default, scope category is assigned to 1.03. Direct & Fugitive Emissions
You can change the assignment using a drop-down menu in the template
Emissions Are Estimated
Select "Yes" if your emissions are estimated (e.g., using leak detection estimates)
Select "No" if they're based on measured gas quantities or detailed calculations
Optional data fields
Emission Description
Add descriptions to help with analysis and reporting
Examples: "R-404A refrigerant leak", "CO₂ from fermentation process", "Methane from anaerobic digestion"
Record ID
Add a unique identifier to link back to your raw data
Must be unique across all records if provided
Useful for tracking specific incidents or equipment
Supplier Information
Supplier Name: Enter any relevant service provider (e.g., refrigeration maintenance company)
Supplier Country: Required if supplier name is provided
Supplier VAT Number: Optional tax identification number
Adding supplier information can be useful for tracking maintenance-related emissions or service provider responsibilities.
