Methods: the vintages our figures cite
Every figure we publish names the dated vintage it was computed under. Each vintage is a file whose SHA-256 a reader can recompute.
Our records follow the SSP² specification, version 0.4.1, deposited with its compliance vectors and profile definitions as vintage 2.c1
Emission estimates for Australian agriculture use the factor vintage hdp-ef-au-ag-ghg-2026-v2 for activity dated from 1 July 2026. It holds the VEERG V1 factors and was registered on 22 October 2026 as an errata of hdp-ef-au-ag-ghg-2026-v1, with the same factors and an earlier start date.c2
Scope 3 inputs use the factor vintage hdp-ef-au-ag-inputs-2026-v2c3, and agricultural chemicals use hdp-ef-au-ag-agrichem-2026-v2c5, for activity dated from 1 July 2026. They were registered on 22 October 2026 as errata of the -v1 sets, with the same factors and an earlier start date. Before 1 July 2026, the Scope 3 emissions of purchased inputs and agricultural chemicals have no factor set.
Activity dated before 1 July 2026 is estimated under the prior vintage, hdp-ef-au-ag-ghg-gaf30-2026-v1: GAF release 3.0 as AIA's engine 3.0.2 holds it, frozen, for activity from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026.c4 Activity dated before 1 July 2025 has no vintage and is refused.
Each factor file is published here as a signed version, with the attribution its source asks for. The AusLCI values are AusLCI's. AusLCI does not endorse our figures. They are estimates, and we make no claim or comparison on partial life cycle data.
