[Accounting - Reports: Data](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/product-carbon-footprint-pcf?hsLang=en#accounting-reports-data) # Emission data analysis ## In the Analysis tab, emission data can be analysed according to life cycle stages and structural elements, the balance sheet can be viewed, and the graphs and tables can be exported. After entering the consumption data, it can be analyzed in the Climate Hub via the **“Analysis”** tab in the top-level navigation. Various analysis options are available there. Depending on the selected standard, the analysis is based on the following CO₂e values and their underlying emission factors: - ISO 14067: CO2e emissions including biogenic CO2 *Note: If no value including biogenic CO₂ is available for an activity, the corresponding value excluding biogenic CO₂ is used instead and added to the total. The analysis shows how many values including and excluding biogenic CO₂ were included in the total.* - PACT: CO2e emissions excluding biogenic CO2 uptake - Catena-X: CO2e emissions excluding biogenic CO2 uptake - TfS: CO2e emissions excluding biogenic CO2 uptake ### **1. Analysis by Life Cycle Stages** The view shows in which **life cycle stage** the product generates the highest emissions. This can help you define and implement targeted emission reduction measures. Depending on the selected **system boundary**, different phases are displayed: - **Cradle-to-gate**: Raw material acquisition and production - **Cradle-to-grave**: All five life cycle phases ![Screenshot 2026-02-25 at 11.41.54](https://helpdesk.verso.de/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-02-25%20at%2011.41.54.png?width=670&height=406&name=Screenshot%202026-02-25%20at%2011.41.54.png) #### **Navigation by Production Site** Using the **“Structural element”** dropdown, you can navigate between different production sites. **Note:** Since the **Use** and **End-of-life** phases are independent of location, their emissions are displayed for all sites when using the **Cradle-to-grave** approach. A corresponding note is shown below the chart. #### **Drilldown: From Phase to Activity** The analysis is interactive and allows a step-by-step drilldown: 1. By selecting a **life cycle stage**, the corresponding **sub-stages (Level 1)** are displayed. 2. Selecting a **Level 1 sub-stage** opens the corresponding **sub-stage (Level 2)**. 3. Selecting a **Level 2 sub-stage** takes you to the related **activities**. You can switch between a **pie chart** and a **bar chart** in the upper right corner of the chart. The **bar chart** is particularly useful at the activity level, as it clearly lists all activities one below the other, making it easier to compare emission drivers. ![Bar chart\_Activities](https://helpdesk.verso.de/hs-fs/hubfs/Bar%20chart_Activities.jpg?width=670&height=395&name=Bar%20chart_Activities.jpg) Using the navigation in the upper left corner, you can return to the higher-level view at any time. **Note:** With a **custom report configuration**, the number of levels depends on the defined subphase structure. In the **predefined report configuration**, please note that the **Use** and **End-of-life** phases do not contain subphases. --- ### **2. Analysis by Structural Elements** In the **"Structural elements"** tab, you can see which structural element generates the highest emissions in each phase. Each structural element is displayed as a separate bar. Here as well, the display depends on the selected system boundary: - **Cradle-to-gate**: Raw material acquisition and production - **Cradle-to-grave**: All five phases **Note:** Since the **Use** and **End-of-life** phases cannot be assigned to a specific location, an additional location-independent bar is added when using the **Cradle-to-grave** approach. A corresponding note is displayed below the chart. #### **![Screenshot 2026-02-25 at 11.46.08](https://helpdesk.verso.de/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-02-25%20at%2011.46.08.png?width=670&height=352&name=Screenshot%202026-02-25%20at%2011.46.08.png)** #### **Drilldown within Structural Elements** A detailed analysis is also possible in this view: 1. Clicking on a **life cycle stages** opens the corresponding **sub-stages (Level 1)**. 2. Selecting a **Level 1 sub-stage** displays the corresponding **sub-stages (Level 2)**. Using the navigation in the upper left corner of the box, you can return to the higher-level view at any time. --- ### **3. Exporting Data and Charts** The following export functions are available in the **Life Cycle Stages** and **Structural Elements** tabs: - Using the **Download button** in the upper right corner, the respective chart can be downloaded as an **image file**. - Using the **Copy button**, the **data behind the charts** can be copied to the clipboard and then pasted, for example, into **Excel**. ![Export\_graphics](https://helpdesk.verso.de/hs-fs/hubfs/Export_graphics.jpg?width=670&height=395&name=Export_graphics.jpg) ---   - [About the VERSO Climate Hub](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/about-the-verso-climate-hub?hsLang=en) - [Company](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/company?hsLang=en) - [Product list (PCF, LCA)](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/product-list-pcf-lca?hsLang=en) - [Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF)](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/corporate-carbon-footprint-ccf?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Greenhouse Gas Protocol](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/corporate-carbon-footprint-ccf?hsLang=en#greenhouse-gas-protocol) - [Accounting - Reports: General](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/corporate-carbon-footprint-ccf?hsLang=en#accounting-reports-general) - [Accounting - Reports: Scope 1](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/corporate-carbon-footprint-ccf?hsLang=en#accounting-reports-scope-1) - [Accounting - Reports: Scope 2](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/corporate-carbon-footprint-ccf?hsLang=en#accounting-reports-scope-2) - [Accounting - Reports: Scope 3](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/corporate-carbon-footprint-ccf?hsLang=en#accounting-reports-scope-3) - [Accounting - Standards: ESRS E1-5](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/corporate-carbon-footprint-ccf?hsLang=en#accounting-standards-esrs-e1-5) - [Accounting - Standards: ESRS E1-6](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/corporate-carbon-footprint-ccf?hsLang=en#accounting-standards-esrs-e1-6) - [Targets & Measures](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/corporate-carbon-footprint-ccf?hsLang=en#targets-measures) - [Frequently asked questions](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/corporate-carbon-footprint-ccf?hsLang=en#frequently-asked-questions) - [Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/product-carbon-footprint-pcf?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Accounting - Reports: General](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/product-carbon-footprint-pcf?hsLang=en#accounting-reports-general) - [Accounting - Reports: Data](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/product-carbon-footprint-pcf?hsLang=en#accounting-reports-data) - [Measures](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/product-carbon-footprint-pcf?hsLang=en#measures) - [Frequently asked questions](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/product-carbon-footprint-pcf?hsLang=en#frequently-asked-questions) - [Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/life-cycle-assessment-lca?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Accounting - Reports: General](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/life-cycle-assessment-lca?hsLang=en#accounting-reports-general) - [Accounting - Reports: Data](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/life-cycle-assessment-lca?hsLang=en#accounting-reports-data) - [Frequently asked questions](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/life-cycle-assessment-lca?hsLang=en#frequently-asked-questions) - [Event Carbon Footprint (ECF)](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/event-carbon-footprint-ecf?hsLang=en) - [Settings](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/settings?hsLang=en) - [Release Notes](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/release-notes?hsLang=en) [![verso-logo](https://helpdesk.verso.de/hubfs/verso-logo.svg "verso-logo")](http://verso.de) [Release Notes](https://helpdesk.verso.de/de/release-notes?hsLang=en) Contact Us [ESG Hub](https://helpdesk.verso.de/de/esg-hub?hsLang=en) [Supply Chain Hub](https://helpdesk.verso.de/de/supply-chain-hub?hsLang=en) Software version 2.23.0 Copyright © 2025, VERSO GmbH
