| Methodology description | OpenIO-Canada is an open-source Multi-Regional Environmentally Extended Input-Output (MREEIO) model developed by CIRAIG, designed to estimate the life cycle environmental impacts of products and services in Canada. It operates at the provincial level across all 13 Canadian provinces and territories, covering 492 commodities and 33 GHGs, as well as around 300 pollutants, 67 mineral resources, water consumption, energy use, and plastic waste. The model provides emission factors (kgCO₂e per CAD) for 6,396 commodities produced across Canada and 9,600 commodities produced outside Canada. International trade is modelled by connecting OpenIO-Canada to the EXIOBASE global MRIO database, ensuring that imported goods are characterised using the economic structure of their country of origin rather than assuming Canadian production conditions. OpenIO-Canada operates at basic prices, and purchaser price emission factors are also available using average trade and downstream transport margins. Climatiq provides two emission factor variants for each activity, both at purchaser price (inclusive of taxes, retail margins, and distribution costs): Without endogenisation — the emission factor covers the supply chain of the commodity but excludes capital goods such as buildings, machinery, and software. With endogenisation — the emission factor additionally accounts for capital goods, integrating the consumption of fixed capital into the full value chain description. For full details, see the OpenIO-Canada v2.11 release on Zenodo (Agez, CIRAIG, 2026): https://zenodo.org/records/18155756 and the GitHub repository: https://github.com/CIRAIG/OpenIO-Canada. |

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.

EXIOBASE
EXIOBASE is a global, detailed Multi-Regional Environmentally Extended Supply-Use Table (MR-SUT) and Input-Output Table (MR-IOT). It was developed by harmonising and detailing supply-use tables for a large number of countries, estimating emissions and resource extractions by industry. Subsequently, the country supply-use tables were linked via trade creating an MR-SUT and producing MR-IOTs from this. The MR-IOT can be used for the analysis of the environmental impacts associated with the final consumption of product groups. The EXIOBASE emission factors use basic prices. The basic price represents the initial cost set by a producer for a product or service, without additional fees like taxes or delivery costs (referred to as tax and transport margins). The values in the Climatiq Database might not be exactly the same as the ones you find on the EXIOBASE download page due to the prices used.
