About GEMIS
GEMIS, or the Global Emission Model for Integrated Systems, is a comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) software tool developed by IINAS, the Institute for Integrated Environmental Assessments. The tool is designed to analyse and model the environmental impacts of various technologies, products, and services. GEMIS covers a wide range of sectors, including energy, transport, materials, and agriculture, among others, providing reliable and consistent emission factors.

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.

UBA
The Umweltbundesamt (UBA) is the Federal Environment Agency of Germany and is responsible for promoting sustainable development through scientific research, providing advice on a wide range of environmental issues to the government, businesses, organisations, and the public. The UBA reports emission factors for electricity, fuel, and transport among others.

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.
