Emission source

EMI › DecarbNexus Emissions Ontology

From AIM Platform Standard and Guidance, v1.0: “An emissions source is a process that releases GHG emissions into the atmosphere. Interventions reduce emissions by addressing the source directly (e.g., substituting a fossil fuel boiler with an electric boiler), or by impacting a process upstream or downstream that reduces emissions over the life cycle of a product (e.g., replacing fossil jet fuel with SAF produced by a waste feedstock).”

Also known as: GHG source

Note

Equivalent to ISO 14064-1:2018, 3.1.2: “process that releases a GHG into the atmosphere.”

scopeNote	The source is the process itself, not the material it produces or the sector/industry that operates it — e.g. the chemical reduction of iron ore in a blast furnace is a source; ‘steel’ and ‘steel manufacturing’ are not.
