Methodology Notes

Frequently Asked Questions

We use EPA eGRID 2024 for electricity (subregion-specific, ERCN for Texas and AZNM for Arizona), EPA GHGRP for natural gas combustion, USEEIO v2.0 for purchased goods spend-based estimates, EPA SmartWay for freight transport, and DEFRA 2024 for business travel. All factors are sourced from publicly available government data and referenced in the methodology section.
This is consistent with GHG Protocol data for mid-market food manufacturers — Scope 3 typically represents 80–95% of total footprint. Apex Manufacturing Co.’s Scope 3 (primarily purchased goods, Category 1) is driven by the raw material and packaging spend across 40 tier-1 suppliers. Downstream transportation (Category 9, last-mile delivery) is the second-largest Scope 3 driver.
Emissa maps GL codes from the QuickBooks CSV export to USEEIO v2.0 sector-level emission factors. The GL-to-sector mapping is configurable per industry vertical. For Apex, the system identified ~$19M in COGS spend and applied the food manufacturing sector factor (0.50 tCO₂e per $1,000 spend) to arrive at the Category 1 estimate.
No. This page uses representative industry data for a fictional manufacturer, Apex Manufacturing Co. All emissions figures are calculated from publicly available EPA/DEFRA emission factors applied to plausible operating parameters for a $30M food & beverage company.
