Basic formula
Electricity-related Scope 2 emissions are calculated by multiplying electricity consumed by the applicable emission factor.
Voltfox calculates electricity-related Scope 2 emissions with hourly, location-based and facility-level data instead of static annual averages. See when and where electricity consumption creates emissions, compare annual averages with granular results, and build a clearer calculation trail for reporting and assurance.
Annual averages flatten daily and seasonal changes in grid carbon intensity into a single static value.
Voltfox matches electricity consumption with time-specific and grid-specific emission factors to produce a more representative Scope 2 result.
Voltfox aligns each facility's electricity consumption with the relevant hour, location, grid region and emission factor. Instead of applying one annual average factor to the full reporting period, Voltfox calculates emissions with more precise time-specific and location-specific data.
Electricity-related Scope 2 emissions are calculated by multiplying electricity consumed by the applicable emission factor.
When hourly data is available, Voltfox applies the relevant emission factor to each hour of electricity consumption, then aggregates the results into facility, region and reporting-period outputs.
Meter, OSOS, CSV, invoice or energy system data, combined with facility location, reporting period and organizational boundary.
Voltfox uses the most appropriate available emission factor for the time period, location and calculation boundary, recording the source and method used.
Facility-level emissions, hourly or period-based breakdowns, annual average comparison, methodology notes and a clearer calculation trail for review.
Grid carbon intensity shifts as generation sources change. Voltfox aligns consumption with those hourly changes to create a more detailed and useful Scope 2 result.
Voltfox gives teams the calculation structure they need for more explainable electricity emissions reporting across sustainability and assurance processes.
Annual averages compress thousands of changing grid conditions into one number. Voltfox brings the time and location context back into the calculation.
Match electricity consumption with the grid conditions that existed when and where the energy was used.
See how sites, regions, operating hours and consumption patterns shape your reported electricity emissions.
Produce outputs that show the data, period, location, factor and calculation logic behind each result.
Voltfox can begin with existing electricity and facility data, then improve calculation precision as more detailed meter or system data becomes available.
Voltfox helps you move from broad averages to hourly, location-based electricity emissions calculation.
Answers for companies moving from annual Scope 2 averages to hourly, location-based electricity emissions calculation.
Granular emission calculation means calculating electricity-related emissions with more detailed time and location data. Voltfox uses hourly, location-based emission factors to create a clearer view of when and where Scope 2 emissions occur.
Voltfox matches electricity consumption data with the relevant hour, facility, grid region and emission factor. This creates a structured Scope 2 calculation that reflects actual operating patterns more clearly than a single annual factor.
Annual averages compress changing grid conditions into one static number. Hourly emission factors show how grid carbon intensity changes throughout the day and help companies calculate electricity emissions with better time-based accuracy.
Yes. Voltfox focuses on hourly, location-based Scope 2 calculation by connecting electricity consumption to the grid conditions of the location where energy is used. This gives companies stronger facility-level visibility and clearer reporting outputs.
Companies can start with facility information, location data, reporting period and electricity consumption data. Meter, OSOS, CSV, invoice or energy management system exports can all support the calculation workflow.
Granular calculation improves reporting by making the data, period, location, emission factor and calculation logic behind Scope 2 results more visible. This gives sustainability, finance and assurance teams a clearer basis for review.
