# Energy - How to use Emission Factors

EFs are multiplied by the corresponding activity data to estimate emissions. According to the [Greenhouse Gas Management Institute](https://ghginstitute.org/2022/10/31/what-are-emission-factors-and-where-can-i-find-them/#:~:text=The%20basic%20formula%20is), the basic formula is:

 

Activity Data x Emission Factor = GHG Emissions

 

The units associated with the Activity Data must be converted to match the units used by the EF to calculate the estimated GHG Emissions.
