Have emission factors presented and easily accessible in the platform

At the moment it is quite difficult to find emission factors in the system. I know you can either go to monthly data within the platform or download one of the csv exports, but it would be good to see them in the UI somewhere. Maybe as a table in one of the performance dashboards.

    Hi Emily,


    We are considering options that might be available to do this, currently we do have some limitations imposed by the licensing required for some factor sets and are not permitted to share the underlying factors, however, in the meantime, you could schedule or download a copy of the energy and emission factors report, which will provide all emission factors we are permitted to disclose that you are currently using.

    As you noted above, the other options available are the monthly data grid in each accounts, or the monthly data summary csv report.
