Granular Emission Calculation

Stop averaging what changes every hour.

Voltfox calculates electricity-related Scope 2 emissions with hourly, location-based data. Replace static annual factors with a clearer view of when, where and how your electricity emissions occur.

Scope 2 calculation view
Hourly, location-based calculation
Traditional approach

One annual factor

Annual averages flatten daily and seasonal changes in grid carbon intensity into a single static value.

Voltfox approach

Every hour. Every location. Every facility.

Voltfox matches electricity consumption with time-specific and grid-specific emission factors to produce a more representative Scope 2 result.

More accurate reporting Reflect the actual timing and location of consumption.
Clearer variance analysis Compare annual averages against granular results.
Defensible calculation trail Show the data and method behind the number.
What companies gain

A more accurate view of electricity-related emissions.

Annual averages compress thousands of changing grid conditions into one number. Voltfox brings the time and location context back into the calculation.

01

More representative Scope 2 results

Match electricity consumption with the grid conditions that existed when and where the energy was used.

02

Clearer facility-level insight

See how sites, regions, operating hours and consumption patterns shape your reported electricity emissions.

03

Stronger reporting confidence

Produce outputs that show the data, period, location, factor and calculation logic behind each result.

Hourly visibility

Electricity emissions change throughout the day. Your calculation should reflect that.

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.

  • Location and grid region information
  • Electricity consumption data
  • Reporting period and organizational boundary
  • Meter, OSOS, CSV, invoice or energy system exports
Accurate emissions. Defensible reporting.

Calculate Scope 2 emissions with the granularity your reporting deserves.

Voltfox helps you move from broad averages to hourly, location-based electricity emissions calculation.

FAQ

Granular emission calculation questions

Answers for companies moving from annual Scope 2 averages to hourly, location-based electricity emissions calculation.

What is granular emission 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.

How does Voltfox calculate hourly Scope 2 emissions?

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.

Why are hourly emission factors more useful than annual averages?

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.

Is Voltfox designed for location-based Scope 2 reporting?

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.

What data is needed for granular emissions calculation?

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.

How does granular emission calculation improve reporting?

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.
