Navigate to the Footprint x Processes tab

Allocating usages and emissions to processes

This step is only possible if you have filled in the usages and emissions tab and have defined the production processes.

The utilities and emissions that have been entered in the usages and emissions tab are displayed in the rows under the header ‘Footprint items’. The production processes, added in step 3 (paragraph 2.1.2), are shown in the columns.

It is possible to allocate the ‘Footprint items’ to the processes in several ways: absolute amounts, percentages or a custom made setting. Click on the bar, under the header ‘Total to distribute’, to select a distribution method. Once a distribution method has been selected, you can enter the amount of energy, fuel or emission in the production process columns.

The Ecochain application checks whether the entered amount of utilities, fuel use or direct emissions in the ‘Footprint x Process’ tab correspond with the ‘Usages and Emissions’ tab. This check is displayed in the last column under the ‘Difference’ header.

  • The icon indicates that the utilities, fuel use or direct emissions entered in this tab correspond with the indicated usages and emissions.
  • The icon indicates that the utilities, fuel use or direct emissions entered in this tab do not correspond with the indicated usages and emissions.
