Can I use an emission factor that is not listed in Coolset?

Last updated: November 20, 2025

Yes, you can.

Coolset uses trusted public databases to ensure our carbon footprint calculations are accurate and up to date. However, some niche or specialized materials may not be covered in these databases.

If your product involves materials or services not listed, we recommend asking your suppliers if they can provide a reliable emission factor. If they do, and are willing to share it, Coolset will review and verify the data for accuracy.

Once validated, we’ll add the emission factor to our database and apply it to your relevant transactions. This ensures your carbon reporting remains accurate and tailored to your business, while also encouraging transparency and collaboration within your supply chain.
