Overview 

The Fuel Types section displays the list of fuels that are used by the organisation. WiredUp will deploy a starting data set with a list of fuels and corresponding information for each. The user can also input new fuel types if it isn't within the default data set.


Configuring Fuel Types

Navigate to Impact > Emissions, then click on the three-bar menu on the left-hand side, then click Fuel Types.

The Fuel Types page will display. Depending on permissions, users can edit and add fuel type information in line. To create a new fuel type entry, start by entering the name of the fuel type in +Add.


To create a new Fuel Type entry, type the name of the fuel here, hit enter to create and input the corresponding fields
The state of the Fuel Type (Solid, Gaseous or Liquid)
The name of the fuel 
How much the fuel emits Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide, and combined in scope 1 scenarios 
The amount of energy in the fuel combusted
How much carbon the fuel emits converted to its corresponding unit
How much the fuel emits carbon in scope 3 scenarios

Click this icon to delete an existing Fuel Type

When making changes for the first time, a dialogue box will appear for you to provide a reason for changing the data. Enter your reason and hit Confirm. 
Note: Fuel Type and Fuel Combusted are shared between all locations enterprise-wide while the Emission Factors are siet specific. Each site will share the same list of Fuel Types and Fuel Combusted entries but must enter/import factors for their site specifically.

Warning: Changing fuel type data entries require appropriate permissions to be allocated. See Setting permissions for Emissions Management


Importing Fuel Type Emissions Factors

Fuel-type emission factors can also be imported as detailed in Importing data for Emissions Management.
