Retailers and brand owners send supplier questionnaires asking for your emissions. Emitt keeps each plant's electricity, gas and refrigerants in one ledger, so the answer is already there, with the bills behind it.
Mostly your customers. A retailer's or brand owner's Scope 3 includes the goods it buys, so it asks its suppliers for their emissions, usually in its own questionnaire.
For most plants, electricity and gas are the bulk of Scope 1 and 2. These are the sources Emitt prices today and how each reaches it.
| Emission source | Scope | How the data reaches Emitt |
|---|---|---|
| Electricity for machinery, compressed air, lighting and cooling | Scope 2 | Bills from any retailer, in the spreadsheet template or entered by hand; direct retailer connection coming soon |
| Natural gas for boilers, ovens and process heat | Scope 1 | Gas bill figures, uploaded in the template or entered by hand |
| LPG for forklifts and heating | Scope 1 | Supplier invoices, uploaded in the template or entered by hand |
| Refrigerants in chillers, cold rooms and air conditioning, and SF₆ in switchgear | Scope 1 | Service records of the gas added, in kg, uploaded or entered by hand |
| Diesel and petrol in delivery vehicles | Scope 1 | Fuel card export (Ampol Card today; BP Plus and Shell Card coming soon), or spreadsheet upload |
| Waste to landfill | Scope 3 | Waste contractor docket reports (CSV) |
| Suppliers' own emissions for what they sell you | Scope 3 | A supplier link: each one reports their own figure, no account needed |
What Emitt doesn't calculate for manufacturing. Process emissions, such as the CO₂ released by chemical reactions in cement, lime, glass or metal production; emissions in the materials you buy, unless the supplier reports them; spend-based estimates; and on-site solar generation. If process emissions are a large part of your footprint, Emitt covers the energy side only.
Each plant is its own place in Emitt, with its own meters, bills and totals, rolling up to the company.
Electricity is priced against the state grid each meter draws from. In the NGA Factors 2026 that is 0.74 kg CO₂e per kWh in Victoria and 0.65 in Queensland, so the same kWh carry different emissions depending on where the plant is.
Process heat, forklifts and cold rooms, counted as Scope 1 alongside the power bill, each with its own factor. Refrigerant is priced by the gas's global warming potential.
A retailer response sheet, CDP-style fields and an EcoVadis-style evidence pack, filled from the same figures you see on screen, with the bill behind each one.
A month with no bill is flagged, and every total says how many records it includes and leaves out, so you know a plant's year is complete before you send it.
Multiply the kilowatt-hours by the factor for the grid the plant draws from: 412,500 kWh × 0.74 kg CO₂e per kWh (Victoria, NGA Factors 2026) = 305,250 kg, or 305.25 t CO₂e of Scope 2.
The edition follows the date. A bill for March 2026 falls in the 2025–26 year, so Emitt prices it with the NGA Factors 2025 at 0.78 kg CO₂e per kWh: the same 412,500 kWh would be 321.75 t. Try your own figures in the emissions calculator.
Answer it from a year of actual records for each plant, priced with the NGA Factors, rather than estimates. Emitt builds a retailer response sheet from your electricity, gas, LPG, refrigerant and fuel records, so each answer traces back to the bill it came from.
No. Emitt calculates emissions from electricity, natural gas, diesel, petrol, LPG and refrigerants, and Scope 3 from waste to landfill and supplier-reported figures. Process emissions from chemical reactions, such as in cement and lime production, are not calculated.
Yes. Each plant is its own entity in your company's tree, with its own totals by month and year, and every plant rolls up to the company total.
