On the left hand side bar, you will see various options such as:
Combustion Equipment: Register boilers, furnaces, generators, and other combustion-based equipment that consume fuel and emit greenhouse gasses.
Suppliers: Record details of fuel and energy suppliers, enabling tracking of indirect emissions.
Vehicles: Add company-owned or operated vehicles, including cars, trucks, and heavy machinery, to account for transportation-related emissions.
Refrigeration and Fire Suppression Equipment: Inventory refrigeration units, air conditioning systems, and fire suppression systems that contain potent greenhouse gasses.
Sector Specific Fugitive Sources: Identify and track fugitive emissions specific to your industry, such as leaks from pipelines or industrial processes.
Employee: Associate employees with emission-generating activities or assets, facilitating accountability and emission allocation.
Product and Services: Catalog products and services that contribute to emissions throughout their lifecycle.
Fuels: Record fuel types and consumption rates for equipment, vehicles, and processes.
Processes: Document industrial processes that generate emissions, such as manufacturing or chemical reactions.
Production Route: Define production pathways and associated emissions for manufactured goods.
Setup Procedure:
Go to Settings icon > Sources and Consumers.
Select one of the options mentioned above from the left-hand sidebar.
Click the + (Green) button on the right side.
