The user guides on attributing components and project
emissions give a useful general introduction to concepts covered in the rest
of this page.
Attribution within a removal
To add a new project operation component with partial attribution to a removal, first create the component and then call the Patch Removal Components endpoint with a request as follows:Patch Removal Components
GHG Statement level attribution
Emissions can be added to a GHG statement if they relate to that reporting period. In the case that a statement has multiple removals, the emission will be automatically split evenly across all removals. The component can be created and attributed in the same request to Post GHG Statement Component. Note that no attribution factor is needed in this case as attribution is calculated automatically.Add a GHG statement level emission
Attribution of project emissions
Project emissions can be automatically allocated by Certify using an amortization rule. If aManual
amortization rule is selected, suppliers
can define their own amortization strategy using API updates to amend removals.
Once a project emission and removal have been created, the emission can be attributed by calling
the Post Project Component Removal Attribution
endpoint:
Attribute project emission to removal
The project emission component ID is specified as a path parameter in the request.
Full attribution
Components cannot be attributed beyond 100%. In the event a request is sent attempting to over-attribute a component, the API will respond with a400
error.
