EmissionPlan uses DEFRA 2024 (UK Government) emission factors for energy and transport, which are widely accepted across the EU for GHG Protocol reporting. Electricity grid intensity factors are country-specific for 13 EU member states from the European Environment Agency.
Yes. The results cover Scope 1, 2 and 3 as required by GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and ESRS VSME — the two standards referenced in CSRD. When you create a free account, EmissionPlan generates a PDF report that explicitly cites these standards, making it suitable for auditor review.
Scope 1 covers direct emissions from sources you own or control (gas boilers, company vehicles). Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from purchased electricity — the amount varies by country. Scope 3 covers all other indirect emissions including business travel, employee commuting, and waste disposal.
Results are estimates based on your inputs and official emission factors. Accuracy depends on the quality of data you enter. For a first carbon report, estimates are acceptable. For audit-ready submissions, we recommend keeping original bills and records as supporting evidence.
Country-specific electricity grid factors are available for Germany, France, Poland, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Austria, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Portugal, and Czech Republic. All other EU countries use the EU average grid factor (0.276 kgCO₂e/kWh).
