    I'm have some problems after following the official tutorial video, I lack data in the 'Transformation' section, so I can't model the power plant well, I'm wondering if I can skip this part, by setting the power emission factor to analyze the CO2 emissions of electricity (I want to set the electricity emission factor to 0.8042 (tCO2/MWh) ). For primary energy, I also want to set it according to my country's carbon emission factor, instead of using IPCC data, is this feasible? ? Looking forward to your reply.

    Yes it is possible.
    All you need to do it choose "Per unit energy produced" under Method in Avg Environmental Loading tab and put your required value in the expression box. do not forget to select Units and Per parameters accordingly.

    Hope it helps

    Best,

    The same thing bothers me, so I hope someone finds a solution and shares it with us.

    So far, I have done this by setting up one power plant in the transformations that uses one renewable and one fossil fuel as a feedstock, and then I tuned their share until I got the desired emission factor (which I calculated in the "indicators"). I agree that it would be much simpler if there was an option to enter the Emission Factor directly for "imported electricity".

    You can skip Transformation entirely if you are willing to specify your own CO2 emission factors under your demand devices. But I do not recommend this as it will not allow you to model how those factors might change in future as your generation mix evolves.
