Co-products from alternative fuel production used in other processes
Measurement answer
What this metric measures
Reports the volume of co-products generated from alternative fuel production that are used in other industrial or commercial processes, disaggregated by co-product type and receiving process.

Formula
Total co-products used in other processes = Σ V_i, where i represents each co-product type and receiving-process combination.Apply the source-defined TNFD sector-guidance method within the stated reporting boundary. The source describes a reportable physical outcome with a stated tonnes unit and explicit co-product and use/process disaggregation. It is distinct from general materials-used disclosures because it is limited to co-products from alternative fuel production and their subsequent use in other processes.
Variables

|---|---|---|---|
V_i | Co-product volume used in other processes | Reported volume of a specified co-product from alternative fuel production that is used in a specified industrial or commercial process. | tonnes |

Evidence and status sources
Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

- Identify each co-product type included.
- Identify the industrial or commercial process in which each reported co-product is used.
- Describe the basis used to determine quantities of co-products generated from alternative fuel production and used in other processes.
Record-specific limitations
- The metric reports quantities used in other processes and does not, from the available source extract, establish the environmental benefit, substitution effect, or lifecycle impact of those uses.
- The reported volume depends on the organization’s classification of co-products and receiving processes.
Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.
Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
