Custom Markets - Emission
The Emissions Report displays Fossil CO₂ emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) as well as Biogenic emissions.
Custom Markets - Emission - Data
By default, the report opens in Data view, showing Fossil CO₂ emissions (Scope 1) per machine and by product, expressed in ton(ne)s per ton(ne) produced. Machines/mills are ordered from the lowest to the highest total emissions.
When the selected Scope is changed to include Biogenic or Scope 2 emissions, the ranking is automatically updated, again displaying machines or mills from the lowest to the highest total emissions.
General Report Options
Balance Date: Select the date for which the report values are displayed.
Format: The default format is by machine (paper machine or pulp dryer) and by product.
Type: The default setting shows Fossil CO₂ emissions per ton(ne) produced, but this can be changed to daily or annual emissions.
Scope: Allows selection of Scope 2 and Biogenic emissions in addition to Scope 1 (default).
Sort By function
The Sort by functionality allows to sort the Emissions report by different categories, enabling users to view and analyze the data from different perspectives. The default setting is Group By None, and Then Sort By Total Scope X (the selected scope). Changed settings of Sort By or Group By remain active when moving between Data and Graph views.
Group by
The Group By function allows users to organize machines and mills according to different dimensions. This helps tailor the view depending on the scope of the market being analyzed. You can group the data by:
- Product – when multiple products are included.
- Company – when multiple mills, machines, and products are included.
- Mill Name – when several products are included in the market.
- World Region – when more than one world region is included.
- Region – when several countries or sub‑regions are included.
- Config - sorts the paper mill/machine configuration (integrated, semi-integrated, recycled, etc)
Select the grouping that you wish to use and click on Sort Table. Selecting None on Group by will take you back to the default setting.
The Then Sort By function allows users to organize the selected scope emissions for machines/mills based on any of the different fuel categories (see dropdown on screenshot below). Click on Sort Table for the sorting to take effect.
Selecting the scope selected on the Scope (General Report Option) will take you back to the default sorting. In the example below, it would be clicking back on Total Scope 1 + 2 + Biogenic.
Each grouping displays the total capacity (per day and per year). Average, minimum and maximum emissions are showing by capacity and Type selected.
The Sort By button indicates the selected Grouping and Sorting:
Next to the Sort By button the Export function allows to export the report to Excel.
Custom Markets - Emission - Graph
The Emissions Graph displays machines or mills ranked from lowest to highest emissions, based on the selected Scope and the sorting choice in Indicate by.
Different shadings on the bar represent the different types of scope, from bottom to top of the bars (Y-Axis):
- Bright color (no shade): Direct (Scope 1) Fossil CO2 Emission
- Medium shade: Indirect (Scope 2) Fossil CO2 Emission
- Darkest shade: Direct (Biogenic) Fossil CO2 Emission
Clicking on any bar on the graph opens details for the selected mill, including capacity per day and per year, as well as emissions of each fuel for the selected Scope(s). Selecting Label Machine highlights the machine both on the graph and in the data report. Selecting Remove Label removes this highlight.
Clicking on Mill Details will take you to the mill's mill data page to further analyze it. Visit Mills Section in Analytical Cornerstone in the Fastmarkets support for details.
In addition to Group By and Then Sort By explained above, the graph allows an additional Indicate by for indication in different colors, and addition of a legend below the chart.
To the right of the Indicate by function, there is an Export button that enables the graph to be exported to PDF, Excel, Word, Powerpoint and JPG.
Emissions data is calculated from simulated energy and fuel consumption estimates using default conversion factors, for example those available at: https://stat.fi/tup/khkinv/khkaasut_polttoaineluokitus.html.
Scope 1 emissions represent direct fossil CO₂ emissions from fuels burned at the mill. Fastmarkets also estimates biogenic CO₂ emissions, primarily from black liquor and bark. The underlying fuel consumption data can be reviewed in the Consumption Reports in Analytical Cornerstone.
As purchased steam and electricity consumption is also estimated, Fastmarkets RISI is also able to calculate Scope 2 indirect fossil CO₂ emissions.
Fastmarkets does not currently provide Scope 3 fossil CO₂ emissions, which cover emissions associated with the production and delivery of non‑energy‑related raw materials (such as non‑integrated fiber, chemicals, and other materials and equipment). Scope 3 emissions are planned for inclusion towards the end of 2026 or in 2027.
