Support for regional emission factors in addition to IEA emission factors

Envizi users who need to comply with local/regional rules around what emission factors to use to calculate emissions. If a certain regional emission factors is favored over IEA emission factors due to its perceived accuracy, support for these regional emission factors would be very valuable.

    Hi @Clyde Icuspit - We can look at adding support for additional local emission factors provided those factors meet certain criteria. We want to be sure they're globally recognized and reputable, that the factors are updated with regular frequency and that we're legally permitted to use the factors.

    If you have any factor sets you would like us to review, please let us know and we'll have a look.

    However as a workaround, it's often much quicker to capture these as custom factors on a case by case basis considering the significant effort to get the data clearance and legal permission in place to use these factors in Envizi.
