emissions
Comments
• Mention efficiency v intensity earlier where indicator
examples are presented
• Text and typo changes to improve readability
• Suggested improvements to the indicator template
• Provide a methodological sheet to highlight
importance, usefulness, algorithm and possible
interpretation
