Frequently Asked Questions

For organizational footprinting we strongly advise the GHG Protocol. For product footprinting we advise to align with Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules (EC), ISO14067 and/or the LCA norms (ISO 14040/44).

There are numerous datasets available but not all of them are accessible for free. We suggest to align with your respective industry association to make more specific emission factors available. The following databases are useful for food and beverages:

• Big climate database (Danish context)
• Agribalyse (French context)
• RIVM (Dutch context)

For Scope 1-2 emission factors the following databases are useful:

• CO2-emissiefactoren (Dutch context)
• DEFRA (UK context)

For other questions, please refer to Carbon Footprinting or Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
