If you have data from your own facility, use Custom manufacturing it for a more precise footprint.
Click the Manufacturing tab.
Toggle to Custom.
Click Add facility data.
Add Facility Name, Facility Location, Total Production Volume, and Year. Click Next.
Add as many Facility Activities as you would like, each with its own Facility Activity + Unit and Activity Value.
Click Submit.
Field | Definition & Guidelines |
Facility Name | A label to identify it, such as "Facility 1" |
Facility Location | The country or region where the facility operates |
Total Production Volume | The facility's total annual output in kilograms. This is the total for the whole facility, not just this product. |
Year | The year you are adding facility data for. |
Facility Activity + Unit | The energy or resource input used in production, ie: Solar (kWh). Common activities include grid electricity, renewable electricity, natural gas, and water. Add as many as you need. |
Activity Value | The amount associated with that facility activity, ie: 20. |
When you enter grid electricity as a facility activity, Latis calculates emissions using the grid mix for your facility's location. This is the regional blend of energy sources (such as coal, natural gas, wind, and solar) that make up the local electricity supply. Regions with cleaner grids will have a lower emissions factor; regions that rely more heavily on fossil fuels will have a higher one. If your facility uses on-site renewable energy (such as rooftop solar), enter it as a separate activity rather than as grid electricity. This ensures your submission reflects your actual energy sources rather than the regional average.
