Methodology description

This dataset provides consumption-based emission intensities (tCO₂e per dollar of expenditure) for New Zealand, developed by Market Economics Limited for Auckland Council. The emission intensities are calculated using a top-down Input-Output (IO) approach, drawing primarily on Statistics New Zealand's 2020 Inter-industry Study of the New Zealand Economy and the 2019 Production-based GHG Emissions Accounts. Using Supply-Use Tables from the inter-industry study, consumption emission intensities are produced for 199 commodities, which can be linked to the Household Economic Survey to provide a direct connection to commonly purchased household items. Emissions data is based entirely on domestic datasets; goods and services purchased from outside New Zealand are assumed to generate the same emissions per dollar of expenditure as equivalent goods and services produced domestically.

Climatiq has extracted spend-based emission factors for New Zealand from two sheets in the accompanying dataset file:

Cons EF 247 NZHES — emission factors mapped to 247 New Zealand Household Expenditure Survey categories. Cons EF 199 SUT — emission factors at the 199-commodity Supply-Use Table level.

    Cornerstone Sustainability Data Initiative

    Cornerstone is a sustainability data initiative that maintains and publishes key US environmental datasets, including the US Environmentally-Extended Input-Output (USEEIO) family of models, the U.S. EPA's GHG Emission Factors Hub, and eGRID electricity emission factors, originally developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). USEEIO provides open emission factors across more than 400 sectors of the US economy and is widely used for Scope 3 corporate accounting, policy analysis, and academic research. The GHG Emission Factors Hub provides emission factors for a wide range of fuels, transportation modes, refrigerants, waste, and other activities commonly used in greenhouse gas inventories. eGRID provides detailed electricity generation emissions data for estimating the emissions intensity of grid-supplied electricity in the United States.

    WRAP

    WRAP provides a comprehensive database for scope 3 food and drink emission factors, employing a consistent methodology that enables businesses to measure and track their supply chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To form this comprehensive repository, WRAP synthesizes information from numerous distinct sources including academic publications among others.

  • Go to ADEME

    ADEME

    ADEME (Agence de la transition écologique) is the French Agency for Ecological Transition and offers a wide range of emission factors to support the measurement and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in France. These emission factors are used to estimate greenhouse gas emissions associated with various activities, such as energy consumption and transportation.
