Target Finder uses the ZIP code to establish a project’s location and then assigns an emissions factor based on eGRID sub-regions. This details the source of electricity production in each region. Depending on the amount and type of fossil fuels that are used, an appropriate emissions rate is assigned. Target Finder then uses the project’s estimated source energy to calculate the total expected CO2 emissions.
