Overview
Overview
This document summarizes how to upload, modify, and review data in Carbon Hub to complete the month-end volumetric and emissions quantification process. The following items must be completed on a monthly basis:
- Review assets within the Organization tab, and make required updates
- Upload non-routine events
- Upload monthly variable data (meter readings, operating hours, equipment load factors, etc.)
- Run theoretical volumetric calculations using estimation methods
- Prorate networks
- Run emissions calculations using estimation methods
- Pull custom reports
General training material on Carbon Hub is also uploaded to the Validere Knowledge Base. Useful training guides on this site include:
- Usability Guide - Tables (e.g. how to apply table configuration, how to save filters, etc.)
- Import & Export Data
Key Carbon Hub Terminology
Terminology |
Description |
| Industry-accepted calculation methods, or formulas, used to estimate theoretical volumes (e.g. fuel, flare, vent, recycled/recompressed) or mass (e.g. GHG or air pollutant). Estimation methods on flows typically calculate theoretical volumes, while those on equipment typically calculate emissions. | |
Form |
A data entry method that enables users to add measurements while also capturing and storing associated Metadata (e.g. measurement date, facility, equipment, file uploads, etc). |
| Approved inputs to estimation methods. These can either be directly entered or require promotion from a measurement. Examples of records include fuel gas metered volumes, flare gas metered volumes, equipment operating hours, load factors, etc. |
