Ember is an independent non-profit energy think tank that publishes open electricity emission factors, calculated by combining country-level power generation data with fuel-specific emissions coefficients to estimate total emissions and carbon intensity, as described in its methodology document: https://files.ember-energy.org/public-downloads/ember_electricity_data_methodology.pdf

Greenview is a sustainability platform that provides the Hotel Footprinting Tool, utilizing data from over 27,000 hotels in the Cornell Hotel Sustainability Benchmarking index.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) provides comprehensive electricity emission factors, which are essential for understanding the carbon footprint of electricity generation across different regions and energy sources. These factors assist governments, businesses, and researchers in measuring the environmental impact of electricity consumption and in developing strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the energy sector.

The European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a regulatory tool designed to measure carbon emissions attributed to the production of high-carbon goods imported into the EU, aiming to promote cleaner practices in industrial production across non-EU countries. To this end, the European Commission publishes emission factors providing the necessary metrics for compliance and environmental integrity. Annex II of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2621 provides default electricity emission factors, derived from International Energy Agency (IEA) data, representing the country-of-origin electricity grid emission intensity used to estimate indirect embedded emissions from electricity consumed in the production of CBAM goods.
