Add usages & emissions
Click on ‘Add new impact item’ under ‘Usages & Emissions’ and inspect the range of utilities (e.g. water, gas and electricity), direct fuel use (e.g. diesel, petrol) and direct emissions (e.g. methane, nitrogen) in the database.
In order to add usages or emission, select the emission type and enter the used amount via the ‘Add new impact item’ button. Click ‘Add item’ to add the selected utility, fuel use and direct emissions to your company. Once the impact item has been added, the emissions associated with the selected impact item are displayed in the overview. This associated emission can be displayed for several impact categories, which can be selected in the top right corner of the usage & emissions tab.
In case your factory monitors direct emissions to the environment, it is possible to also manually add these emissions to different mediums (water, soil or air). Click on ‘Direct Emissions’, select the compartment in which the emissions occur and click on the specific chemical that is being emitted. Finally fill in the total amount, and click on ‘Add item’.
When insight in the companies true cost flow is desired, we recommend to fill in the total costs under the total amount. These costs can be derived from the companies electricity or gas bill.
