Select “I don’t have these emissions” from the module’s front page. This confirms that your business didn’t use any energy during the selected quarter.

The module will be marked as complete and a 0kg CO₂e footprint will be applied for this quarter.

Where you know the amount of energy or fuel used, select energy type, payment method, and quantity purchased. Choose the energy category and how you pay for it (direct to a supplier or as part of rent/lease). Then, add the amount and unit. This ensures the most accurate footprint calculation.

Usage data will override any spend data for the same category within this quarter. Add all your usage data for this category to ensure accurate calculations. You can add this as one item or choose "Add another energy quantity" to add multiple items of the same or different categories.

Repeat this process for all categories where you have usage details, even if there's no spend data in the system. If you don’t have usage data for certain categories, we’ll estimate emissions based on spend data.

If you can't provide any usage data, don’t worry. The system will calculate your energy emissions based on the spend data available.

To check your energy spends for this period, go to the Transactions screen. Apply a date filter for this financial quarter and a category filter for Energy. If you have any energy spends, you'll see the option labelled “I confirm my energy expenses are accurate and I cannot provide further details."

Choose this option to confirm that you can't provide usage data and want the system to calculate your energy emissions based on your spend data. Your footprint for this module will be recorded, and the module will be marked as complete.

If you don’t have any energy spends, you'll see the option labelled “I confirm I have no energy expenses and I cannot provide further details." Selecting this option will mark the module as complete, but your footprint will have a gap. You can always amend this later if you find the data.

Where you know the amount of energy or fuel used, select “Energy type, payment method and quantity purchased”. Select the category of energy. Choose details of how you pay for this energy - direct to a supplier or as part of a rent, lease or service charge. Add the amount and the unit. This gives you the most accurate footprint calculation.

Make sure you add usage data to account for your business's entire spend and usage within this category for this quarter. You can add this as one item or choose “Add another energy quantity" and add multiple items of the same or different categories.

Repeat this process for all categories that you have detail of how much you've bought or used by choosing “Add another energy quantity" and providing the data for each activity.
​

Where you don't know how much you used but you do know how much you spent, select “Energy type, payment method and cost.” Select the category of energy. Choose details of how you pay for this energy, direct to a supplier or as part of a rent, lease or service charge. Add the amount paid including VAT or any other taxes. Make sure you do not add cost details for any activities for which you've already provided the usage data (the amount used or bought).

If you add detail of what you spent on a category in this section and you've also added detail of how much you used in the above section, the system assumes these datapoints refer to different activities and will count both entries in your footprint.

Make sure the data you add between usage and cost accounts for your business's entire spend and usage within this category for this quarter. You can add this as one item, or choose “Add another energy cost" and add multiple items of the same category. Repeat this process for all relevant activities by choosing “Add another energy quantity" and providing the data for each activity.

Select “I cannot provide any details”.

The module will be marked as complete, but your footprint will be created with a gap. You can amend this later if you are able to find a record of this data.

Categorise the dual fuel transaction from your accounting platform as Energy > Dual Fuel.

Enter the dual fuel usage for this period in the Energy module, selecting Dual Fuel. Choose whether this cost was paid directly to a supplier or included in rent, a lease, or a service charge.

You’ll see two inputs: one for gas and one for electricity. Enter your usage for each, then save the module.

·The separate gas and electricity usage data will automatically link to the single dual fuel spend for this period. This ensures the spend and usage are treated as one activity, and are not double-counted as two separate activities.

In the energy module select Energy type, payment method, and quantity purchased, then Electricity. Choose whether this cost was paid directly to a supplier or included in rent, a lease, or a service charge. Enter the amount used and the unit.

Select Add another energy quantity, then select Gaseous fuels > Natural Gas > choose the appropriate natural gas category. Natural gas supplied via the grid should use the Natural gas via pipeline category. Choose whether this cost was paid directly to a supplier or included in rent, a lease, or a service charge. Enter the amount used and the unit.

Add any other energy usage for this quarter, then click Save.

In the energy module, select Energy type, payment method, and cost, then Dual fuel.
