The SBP GHG Calculator

The SBP Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Calculator supports accurate, transparent and consistent emissions reporting across the biomass supply chain. Using data from the SBP Data Transfer System (DTS), it provides a streamlined approach to calculating emissions in line with key regulatory and industry requirements.
Built in accordance with SBP Instruction Document 6D, the EU Renewable Energy Directive (REDIII), and SBP Instruction Document Japan, the Calculator helps users generate reliable emissions data with confidence.

What the Calculator does

The GHG Calculator uses DTS data to calculate greenhouse gas emissions across the supply chain, reducing the need for manual data handling and specialist technical input. By integrating directly with DTS exports, it improves efficiency and minimises the risk of human error.

Key features

  • DTS integration
    Uses SBP DTS data directly, reducing manual input and improving accuracy
  • Flexible data inputs
    Enables the use of both default values and actual supply chain data
  • Comparison of methodologies
    Allows comparison of emissions calculated using default values from the EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED) and Japanese Feed-in Tariff (FIT) and Feed-in Premium (FIP) schemes with those based on real-world data
  • Supply chain insight
    Supports analysis of emissions across different stages of the biomass supply chain
  • Electricity factor comparison
    Allows, in some cases, comparison between market-based and location-based electricity emission factors

Who it’s for

The Calculator has been developed primarily for End-users, but can also support:

  • Biomass Producers – to understand the carbon footprint of products
  • Traders – to assess the impact of transportation
  • Certification Bodies – to support verification during audits

Independent verification

The Calculator has undergone independent limited assurance verification by SGS, a globally recognised testing, inspection and certification body. This means its methodology and functionality have been reviewed and no material issues were identified, providing confidence in the reliability of the results. Read the verification statement here.
