One footprint, in every year's money
OpenIO-Canada priced this supply chain in 2022 CAD. For every other year we restate the same emissions with the Nova Scotia price index, so money you spent in 2015 is read at 2015 prices. Pick the year of your spend.
- Published by OpenIO-Canada, 2022 CAD
- Re-priced with the Nova Scotia price indexRe-priced, not re-measuredSame emissions per real unit of spend, expressed in that year's CAD. Money spent in 2015 bought 1.25 times what the same sum buys in 2022, so it carries 1.25 times the emissions: 0.471 × 1.25 ≈ 0.59.The figure under each year is that multiplier, with 2022 = 1.

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.
