| Methodology description | Circular Ecology compiles data from various sources. Some emission factors are averages, some come from a single LCA or sector average EPD. Different sources follow different standards but most data (89%) come from EN15804 EPDs. 4% of data align with ISO 14067 and the remainder is either ISO 14044 or no standard method. The methodologies applied vary by material; see the individual emission factor descriptions for the methodology used. There are up to three lca activities for each material: cradle_to_gate: Modules A1 to A3 excluding biogenic carbon dioxide uptake and storage in the material carbon_storage: biogenic carbon dioxide uptake and storage in the material carbon_storage-cradle_to_gate: Modules A1 to A3 including biogenic carbon dioxide uptake and storage in the material. The methodology for each material type is available in the database download file from the source page.

ICM Database
The Integrated Carbon Metrics (ICM) Database is an Australian-specific life cycle inventory providing carbon footprint intensities for construction and building materials. It includes results from both a process method (based on AusLCI process data) and a hybrid method (combining process data with input-output data to capture upstream activities).

Climate Transparency is a global partnership organisation funded by the German Government, World Bank, and several other bodies. It seeks to stimulate climate action in G20 countries through enhanced transparency. The Climate Transparency Report annually provides the emission intensity of electricity generation for various countries, based on the emissions from the respective grid mix.
