IEA
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.

AIB
The Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB) is a European organisation that manages and promotes the use of energy attribute certificates to track the production and consumption of renewable energy in Europe. The AIB produces the European Residual Mix Report which includes data on the mix of fuels used to generate electricity in each European country, as well as the associated greenhouse gas emissions.
