Managed Emission Factors - Green-e Residual Mix
This factor set represents US residual mix factors published annually by Green-e, which is a “consumer protection program designed to provide purchasers of renewable energy good product information, assurance of product quality and verification of product ownership.” 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 it’s first publication in 2015 using electricity data from 2013. The regional alignment of this factor set matches up with the eGrid system in the US, not along state boundaries.
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 | Green-e® Residual Mix Emissions Rate Tables, factors generated by the Centre for Resource Solutions (CRS). Latest publication: 12/Dec/2023 |
Upcoming publication date | Publishes annually. Expected upcoming publication date: Q3,Q4-2024 |
Geographical coverage | By default factors are applied to US eGrid regions. Green-e used to publish factors for Canadian NERC regions, but their last publication was in April-2018 and have no plans for any future publications. |
Data type coverage | Publications exist for every year from 2013 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 | This publication typically publishes 2 years 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 you require a custom period for your factors this will need to be managed as custom factors. |
