# CSV export (Catena-X)

This article describes the CSV export for Catena-X-compliant PCF reports in Climate Hub: what it is used for, how to trigger it, and which data is included. It requires a report for which the Catena-X standard has been activated. To learn how to activate the Catena-X standard, see the article [**Catena-X: Overview and Activation**](https://helpdesk.verso.de/en/climate-hub/catena-x-%C3%BCbersicht?hsLang=en).

#### **What is the Catena-X CSV export used for?**

The Catena-X CSV export generates a file in the Catena-X-compliant format from the data you have entered and the calculated results. Some fields are automatically prefilled with fixed values, while others are converted or derived from your inputs. You can then use this file to exchange the PCF with your customers.

#### **How is the Catena-X CSV export triggered?**

The export is available as soon as the Catena-X standard is active for the report. The CSV export is created in the **Options**tab via the **CSV (Catena-X)** sub-tab. Next, select the structure element for which you want to create the export. Click **Create CSV export**. Climate Hub then generates the CSV file based on the current state of the report.

**Note:** A separate CSV export must be created for each structure element.

 

#### **Which data is exported?**

The CSV file follows the field structure of the Catena-X data model. Most fields are taken directly from your report inputs (e.g. product name, product description, reference period). Special rules apply to some areas:

**Prefilled fields**

Several fields are populated with fixed values regardless of your inputs, including:

- IPCC report version of GWP values: **Unspecified**
- Cross-sectoral standards used: **ISO 14067**
- Product or sector specific rules: **Catena-X Rulebook V4**

**Units**

The units used in Climate Hub are converted to Catena-X-compliant units:

- kg, g, t, short-ton and lb become **kilogram**
- ml, gal and bbl become **liter**
- kWh, MWh, Wh and GWh become **kilowatt hour**
- MJ, GJ and TJ become **megajoule**
- m3 and scf become **cubic meter**
- m, km, ft, mi and nmi become **meter**
- m2, ha, km2 and ft2 become **square meter**
- tkm, tmi and short-ton-mi become **ton kilometer**
- Year, Minute and Second become **hour**
- Quantity becomes **piece**
- Megabit.s becomes **megabit second**

**Dates and times**

For the reference period, the time is automatically set to 09:00. The date of PCF creation is automatically set to the time of the CSV export.
