Emission factors are essential tools used to quantify greenhouse gas emissions associated with specific activities, operations, or products. These factors provide a standardized measurement of emissions by considering factors such as fuel type, energy consumption, and production processes. By using emission factors, companies can accurately calculate and report their carbon footprint, identify emission hotspots, and develop effective strategies to reduce their environmental impact.
