Emission factor 

1 min read

A coefficient that represents the relationship between the amount of pollutant (such as greenhouse gases) produced and the activity responsible for its production. It is typically expressed as the mass of a specific pollutant emitted per unit of activity, such as tonnes of CO₂-equivalent (CO₂e) emissions per unit of fuel burned or distance travelled. Emission factors are used to estimate emissions from various sources and activities.
