Aluminium
Primary and downstream aluminium goods in scope, with notes on direct and indirect emissions treatment.
Cement
Clinker, cement, and related lines covered; production-route considerations and default values reference.
Fertilisers
Nitrogen-based fertilisers in scope, with feedstock and process route considerations.
Hydrogen
Hydrogen in scope, with production-route distinctions relevant to embedded emissions.
Electricity
Imported electricity treatment, default factors, and the distinctive rules for power flows.
Reference data
The methodology and reference tables that feed every sector page.
