Metric Calculation

Unit of Measure	t CO2e
Calculation Method	SUM
Calculation Formula:	SUM CO2e GHG Removals (CO2E_GHG_REM) WHERE SUM [GHG Removal Activity (ID_REMOVAL_ACTIVITY) = Direct Air Capture CO2 in product (DAC_PRD) and Ownership of Operations (ID_OWNRSHIP_OPERATIONS) = Own operations (OWN_OP); Value chain (VALUE_CHAIN) and Carbon Sink Process (ID_CARBON_SINK_PROCESS) = Biogenic sink (BIO); Technological sink (TCH) and Is Hybrid Process (IS_HYBRID_PROCESS) = Is no hybrid process (0); Is hybrid process (1) and Carbon Pool Type (ID_CARBON_POOL_TYPE)= Land-based (LCP); Product (PCP); Geologic (GCP); Ocean-based (OCP); Freshwater-based (FCP)]
Simplified Formula	Total GHG Removal — Direct Air Capture in Product = Σ(CO2e where GHG Removal Activity = Direct Air Capture CO2 in product AND Ownership of Operations ∈ {Own operations, Value chain} AND Carbon Sink Process ∈ {Biogenic, Technological} AND Is Hybrid Process ∈ {Yes, No} AND Carbon Pool Type ∈ {Land‑based, Product, Geologic, Ocean‑based, Freshwater‑based})

Note

Formula Description

The metric Total GHG Removal from Activity: Direct Air Capture CO2 in Product represents all the GHG emissions transferred from the atmosphere that are stored in the product when there is the application of CO2 removal technologies that can be used to generate material that ends in the final product and leads to either short-term carbon cycling (short-term storage) through the production of short-live products or longer-term carbon cycling through the production of long-lived products.

The formula considers the Carbon Sink Process, the Hybrid Process and the Carbon Pool Type to report according to E1-7 (AR 57b). This breakdown is also reflected in the Emission Dashboard App.

The Carbon Sink Process represents any biogenic or technological sink process that removes the greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. In the case that the process includes both types of sink processes, the Hybrid Process needs to be selected to report the amount of GHGs removed from the atmosphere.

The Carbon Pool is a reservoir that has the capacity to accumulate and (or) release emissions. The carbon pools are classified into land-based carbon pools, product carbon pools, geologic carbon pools, ocean-based carbon pools and freshwater-based carbon pools. When reporting the removals, submit the data based on the carbon pools where the removals are accumulated.
