Explore answers “where does this number come from?”. Every level shows the emissions of the current selection split by one dimension, with each item’s share of the total. Click an item to go one level down; the last level lists the individual calculation results.
Open Explore
- From the navigation: Explore, at the top of the sidebar, starts with the months of the period in the filter bar.
- From a dashboard: the bars of Monthly trend on the overview and of Monthly flaring and venting, and the items of the country, asset, category, system and source rankings are links. Assets keep their link to the asset drill-down and have an extra Explore link. See Reading the dashboards.
- From search: an asset, source or system found with the search box opens Explore for it. See Search and the command palette.
The filters of the dashboard you came from (period, scope, GWP set, consolidation, Scope 2 method, category, country, asset) are carried over. You can change them in the filter bar at any time; the drill-down path is kept.
The drill-down path
The path at the top reads from left to right, for example Jan 2026 – Dec 2026 › Sep 2026 › Scope 1 › Flaring › Alpha FPSO › FL-HP-01. The first entry is the period of the filter bar; each following entry is a choice you made. Click an entry to go back to that level: the choices after it are removed. The browser’s Back button goes back one step, and the page address always reproduces the view, so you can copy it and send it to a colleague who has access to the same data.
Levels and “Break down by”
Without other choices Explore goes month → category → asset → source → results. Each level shows Emissions, Share of the level’s Total and a bar. Break down by switches the current level to another dimension that is not chosen yet: Month, Scope, Category, Country, Asset, System, Source or Gas. Sources without a system are listed as No system and cannot be opened further by system.
The numbers are the dashboard numbers: the same GWP set, consolidation and Scope 2 method, and the same membership scope (a member limited to some assets or countries sees only those).
Calculation results
When a source and a month are chosen, Explore lists that source’s calculation results for the month: one row per gas (and per Scope 2 method for purchased electricity), with the mass, the CO₂e under the selected GWP set, the method and its version, the data quality tier, the uncertainty and whether all factors are verified. Click Details to open a result.
Result details
The details show everything the calculation used, read-only:
- Summary: source, month, gas, mass, the GWP applied (set, value and its reference; a factor that already gives CO₂e shows the GWP set its publisher used), CO₂e, uncertainty and whether the result is current.
- Method and library: method code and version, library release, engine version, data quality tier, the inputs fingerprint and the calculation run that wrote the result.
- Activity inputs: each meter or stream value with the unit exactly as entered, its quality flag, where it came from, and for gas volumes the reference conditions used (from the stream, the asset or the organisation default).
- Events and Gas composition (components in mol %, sample date, lab reference) when the method uses them.
- Emission factors: code, value, unit, reference, licence and whether the factor was verified when the result was calculated (and whether that has changed since). See Emission factors.
- Imports behind the inputs, with the file to download (the import page opens for members who can import data), Evidence attached to the inputs, the events, the composition, the imports or the month, and the Audit log entries about them for members who may read the audit log. See Evidence files and Audit log.
