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. OpenIO-Canada publishes purchaser prices, what you paid.

Warming horizon and characterisation model

This factor is published for one set only: Impact world plus 2 1, AR6, 100 years. Every other horizon and model: not published.
