One footprint, in every year's money
Open CEDA priced this supply chain in 2023 dollars. For every other year we restate the same emissions with the Mongolia price index, so a dollar you spent in 2015 is read at 2015 prices. Pick the year of your spend.
- Published by Open CEDA, 2023 dollars
- Re-priced with the Mongolia price indexRe-priced, not re-measuredSame emissions per real unit of spend, expressed in that year's dollars. A 2015 dollar bought 1.31 times what a 2023 dollar buys, so it carries 1.31 times the emissions: 0.432 × 1.31 = 0.566.The figure under each year is that multiplier, with 2023 = 1. Learn more

Which price, and which warming horizon
Match the price to your invoice, and keep one warming horizon across your whole inventory.
Purchaser price or producer price
The purchaser price is what you paid: the producer's price plus the wholesale and retail margins and the transport to the shop. Open CEDA publishes producer prices, the producer's side.
Warming horizon and characterisation model
This factor is published for one set only: AR6, 100 years. Every other horizon and model: not published.
