AIB Residual Mix (EU) factor set
This factor set represents most EU countries' residual mix factors published annually by the Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB). AIB develops, uses and promotes a European, harmonised and standardised system of energy certification for all energy carriers: the European Energy Certificate System (EECS).
These factors apply only to the market-based emissions method of calculating Scope 2 emissions that are accessible through the Market-based Emissions report.
This factor set dates back to its first publication in 2015. Prior to that residual mix factors were published from 2012 to 2014 by Reliable Disclosure Systems for Europe, (RE-DISS). The application of this factor set uses the historical data load date set for an organization, to avoid recalculation of emissions each time a new factor set is published.
| Element | Description |

| Website | European Residual Mix |
| Citation | European Residual Mixes 2022, Association of Issuing Bodies. Latest publication: Version 1.0, 2023-06-01. |
| Upcoming publication date | Publishes annually, usually in May or June. Upcoming publication date: June, 2025. |
| Geographical coverage | By default factors are applied to at the country level for participating EU countries. |
| Data type coverage | Publications exist for every year from 2012 to the present. These emission factors apply only to Scope 2 market-based electricity and can be used only in the Market-based Emissions report. |
| Effective and published dates |
In the 2018 publication IBM® ESG Suite moved to separate published dates from effective dates as market-based emissions reporting was becoming more widely adopted. This publication is typically published about 16-18 months after the effective period. For more information on effective and published dates, refer to Assigning factors. If the organization would like to apply this factor set always using effective periods, the historical data load date should be set to a blank value. If the organization would like to apply this factor set always using published periods, the historical data load date should be set to a date in the distant future. If the organization requires a custom period for your factors this will need to be managed as Custom factors. |
