INTEGRATION PARTNERS
You're in good company with these organisations - their carbon calculations are powered by the AIA EAP
Why you should be powered by
the AIA EAP
Integrate your platform or software with the AIA EAP to provide your customers with a common, consistent and standardised approach to carbon calculations.
No need to build your own calculators - avoid high-risk, capital-intensive software builds that are expensive to maintain.
Accurate and up-to-date
An expert Technical Advisory Panel ensures that calculation models align with the latest science and are consistent with relevant Australian standards and protocols
Backed by industry
and science
Built with RDC investment and supported by a panel of leading Australian experts in GHG accounting, emissions reduction, soil carbon, lifecycle assessment and climate science
Whole-of-enterprise reporting
Seamlessly combines multiple commodities to enable entering of data once to achieve a whole-of-enterprise carbon footprint
Latest updates to the EAP
The AIA Environmental Accounting Platform (EAP) is regularly updated to reflect changes to the National Greenhouse Accounts emissions factors, based on recommendations from the EAP Technical Advisory Panel . The Panel, made up of leading Australian experts in GHG accounting, emissions reductions, soil carbon management and climate science, ensures the AIA EAP remains on the cutting edge of science and research and stays up-to-date with relevant standards.
18 September 2024
This update includes emissions factor changes as per the below. In addition, this update means the EAP is already consistent with the very latest versions of the GAF Tools - which will be published on the Primary Industries Climate Challenges Centre website shortly.
Emissions Factor Changes
The two emissions factor changes that are now live in the EAP are:
-
The crop residue emission factor has been updated to 0.503%
-
The nitrous oxide emission factors for inorganic fertiliser have been updated to:
Production system
Irrigated pasture
Irrigated crop
Non-irrigated pasture
Non-irrigated crop
Sugar cane
Cotton
Horticulture
Emission factor (a) (Gg N2O-N/Gg N)
0.0059
0.007
0.0018
0.0041(b)
0.0199 (c)
0.0053
0.0064
(a) Based on (Grace, et al. 2023)
(b) Weighted EF assuming 77 percent of non-irrigated crops occur on low rainfall areas. Low rainfall EF=0.0029 and high rainfall EF=0.008. The threshold between low and high rainfall areas is annual rainfall = 600mm.
(c) Based on Scherbak and Grace (2014).
