Introduction

This ontology defines a vocabulary for describing carbon emission conversion factors (CF). These are values typically used to calculate carbon emissions where the CF multiplies a quantified estimate of the energy (e.g., kWh of electricity, litters of fuel, etc.) used by a particular activity.

is defined by
http://qudt.org/schema/qudt/
A unit of measure, or unit, is a particular quantity value that has been chosen as a scale for measuring other quantities the same kind (more generally of equivalent dimension). For example, the meter is a quantity of length that has been rigorously defined and standardized by the BIPM (International Board of Weights and Measures). Any measurement of the length can be expressed as a number multiplied by the unit meter. More formally, the value of a physical quantity Q with respect to a unit (U) is expressed as the scalar multiple of a real number (n) and U, as \\(Q = nU\\).

Data Properties

abbreviationdp back to ToC or Data Property ToC

IRI: http://qudt.org/schema/qudt/abbreviation

is defined by
https://qudt.org/schema/qudt/
An abbreviation for a unit is a short ASCII string that is used in place of the full name for the unit in contexts where non-ASCII characters would be problematic, or where using the abbreviation will enhance readability. When a power of abase unit needs to be expressed, such as squares this can be done using abbreviations rather than symbols. For example, sq ft means square foot, and cu ft means cubic foot.

has additional contextdp back to ToC or Data Property ToC

IRI: https://w3id.org/ecfo#hasAdditionalContext

Conversion factors often have subtelties that contextualize the emission source. For example the emission source may be a transportation method (car), but additional context may indicate that the CF is for "large cars", or lars with more than 120 horse power. These subteltlies are captured in the "hasAdditionalContext" property

Named Individuals

scope 1ni back to ToC or Named Individual ToC

IRI: https://w3id.org/ecfo#Scope1

Scope 1 (direct emissions) emissions are those from activities owned or controlled by your organisation. Examples of Scope 1 emissions include emissions from combustion in owned or controlled boilers, furnaces and vehicles; and emissions from chemical production in owned or controlled process equipment.

scope 2ni back to ToC or Named Individual ToC

IRI: https://w3id.org/ecfo#Scope2

Scope 2 (energy indirect) emissions are those released into the atmosphere that are associated with your consumption of purchased electricity, heat, steam and cooling. These indirect emissions are a consequence of your organisation’s energy use, but occur at sources you do not own or control.
belongs to
Scopec

scope 3ni back to ToC or Named Individual ToC

IRI: https://w3id.org/ecfo#Scope3

Scope 3 (other indirect) emissions are a consequence of your actions that occur at sources you do not own or control and are not classed as Scope 2 emissions. Examples of Scope 3 emissions are business travel by means not owned or controlled by your organisation, waste disposal, materials or fuels your organisation purchases. Deciding if emissions from a vehicle, office or factory that you use are Scope 1 or Scope 3 may depend on how you define your operational boundaries. Scope 3 emissions can be from activities that are upstream or downstream of your organisation. More information on Scope 3 and other aspects of reporting can be found in the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard.
