Formula
E_FFI = reported fossil fuel and industrial emissions for the applicable technological CO2 removal value-chain inventory category.Apply the source-defined Land Sector and Removals method only within the disclosed boundary and with compatible inputs. The source identifies fossil fuel and industrial emissions as an accounting category for technological CO2 removal value chains and states that companies must account for it. It is therefore a reportable physical inventory outcome. The evidence does not establish a unit, so no unit is assigned. This identity is kept distinct from the land-sector variant because the stated value-chain boundary differs.
Variables
| Symbol | Variable | Definition | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
E_FFI | Fossil fuel and industrial emissions | Physical GHG emissions classified in the fossil fuel and industrial emissions category for applicable technological CO2 removal value-chain activities. | Dimensionless |

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.

Source-edition basis: Land Sector and Removals Standard, Version 1.1, published 30 June 2026; effective 1 January 2027.
- Disclose the accounting approach for fossil fuel and industrial emissions using the applicable guidance in Chapters 10 and 14.
- Identify the applicable inventory scope and value-chain boundary used for the reported category.
Record-specific limitations
- This metric is a physical GHG inventory emissions category and must not be netted against removals, stored carbon, avoided emissions, GHG credits, or GHG-credit-adjusted values.
- Captured fossil-derived CO2 that does not meet geologic-storage requirements is included in the applicable fossil fuel and industrial emissions category.
- The source identifies this category for technological CO2 removal value chains; it is not a general forestry metric.
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.
