Managed Emission Factors - AIB Residual Mix (EU)

This factor set represents most EU countries' residual mix factors published annually by the Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB). AIB develops, uses and promotes a European, harmonised and standardised system of energy certification for all energy carriers: the European Energy Certificate System - "EECS".

These factors apply only to the market-based emissions method of calculating Scope 2 emissions accessible through the Market-based emissions PowerReport.

This factor set dates back to its first publication in 2015. Prior to that residual mix factors were published from 2012 to 2014 by Reliable Disclosure Systems for Europe, (RE-DISS). Also note that the application of this factor set uses the historical data load date set for an organization, to avoid recalculation of emissions each time a new factor set is published.

Citation

European Residual Mixes 2022, Association of Issuing Bodies.

Latest publication: Version 1.0, 2023-06-01.

Upcoming publication date

Publishes annually, usually in May or June. Upcoming publication date: June, 2024

Geographical coverage

By default factors are applied to at the country level for participating EU countries.

Data type coverage

Publications exist for every year from 2012 to the present.

These emission factors apply only to Scope 2 Market-based electricity and can only be used in the Market-based Emissions power report.

Effective and Published dates

In the 2018 publication Envizi moved to separate published dates from effective dates as market-based emissions reporting was becoming more widely adopted.

This publication typically publishes about 16-18 months after the effective period. For more information on effective and published dates see this article.

If the organization would like to apply this factor set always using effective periods, the historical data load date should be set to BLANK.

If the organization would like to apply this factor set always using published periods, the historical data load date should be set to a date into the distant future.

If the organization requires a custom period for your factors this will need to be managed as custom factors.
