We're currently implementing the Utility Emissions Channel and Emissions Tokens Network use case cases together.
If you're interested, please check the calendar for the next call.

- Customer contacts Auditor to request that its CO2 emissions from its Utility bill be calculated.
- Auditor sends an authorization request for data access from the Utility to the Customer. This could be an emailed link or a paper document, see Green Button standards.
- Customer grants the authorization request, by clicking on agree or sending back the paper document.
- Utility grants Auditor access to Customer's bill data.
- Auditor downloads Customer bill data from Utility, applies the emissions factors from a published database like the Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database (eGRID).
- Auditor publishes the Customer's CO2 emissions on the channel.
- Customer access channel to obtain his calculated CO2 emissions.
