Common use cases
Use the CO₂ report to:
follow calculated CO₂ emissions and estimated fuel consumption
see how many machines were in use and their total usage
find machines with missing settings
download a report for selected machines
schedule recurring reports
Requirements
To calculate CO₂ emissions for a machine, Machines needs:
an Infobric Vehicle Tracker
registered usage data
a specified fuel type
specified fuel consumption in litres per hour
a specified fuel consumption type
If any information is missing, the machine appears as having a settings issue in the report.
Getting started
Log in to Machines.
Go to Analytics in the main menu.
Select CO₂ report.
The page opens with the heading CO₂ emissions.
Choose whether to view the report Weekly or Monthly. You can also choose between Emissions and Fuel consumption (estimated).
What you can do in the CO₂ report
Follow the results for the period
The summary cards show:
Total emissions
Machines in use
Total usage
Unused machines
Select View in list on a card to filter the machine list by that result. Select Remove filter to show all machines again.
Interpret the report cells
Select Explanation – what each cell means to see how the report presents different states.
A cell can show:
Recorded emissions – the machine has the required settings and usage data for the period.
Not used – the machine did not record any usage during the period.
No data received – no usage data was received for the machine.
Waiting for data – the report is waiting for data for the selected period.
Find machines with settings issues
If one or more machines are missing information, a warning appears above the report.
Select View these to filter the list.
Check that the machine has a fuel type, fuel consumption in litres per hour, and a fuel consumption type.
Select the fuel type in the list to open the machine details.
Select Edit machine and add the missing information.
Select View all to return to the complete list.
See how CO₂ is calculated
Select How we calculate to open the calculation explanation.
Machines estimates fuel consumption from the machine's registered usage and the fuel consumption entered in litres per hour. The daily CO₂ calculation is:
Fuel consumed × the emission factor for the fuel type
The emission factor is expressed per litre, kilogram, or kilowatt-hour depending on the fuel type. The factors come from the Swedish Energy Agency.

Tips
Check the fuel type, fuel consumption in litres per hour, and fuel consumption type if a machine has a settings issue.
Select Include machines without data when all selected machines should appear in the downloaded report.
Fuel consumption is an estimate based on registered usage and the machine settings.
CO₂ emissions are calculated, not measured directly.
