EmiMine measures, reconciles and reports greenhouse-gas emissions from mining, from a single mine's fuel log to a country's national inventory. One method, one dataset, every number with its uncertainty.

One platform
From the pit to the national inventory
Five connected modules share one factor library and one national dataset, so a mine's footprint, its disclosure and the country's inventory always agree.
Mine carbon calculator
Turn a mine's fuel, power, explosives, refrigerant and land records into an audited Scope 1, Scope 2 and land-use footprint.
IPCC 2006 factors computed from first principles, with every line traceable
Location- and market-based Scope 2, including independent power producers
Land cleared, by forest type, with NID1 carbon stocks and a low–high range
Enter fuel, power, explosives, refrigerants, land cleared and production. EmiMine applies documented factors line by line.
Reconcile
See where each tonne sits in the national inventory: labelled as mining, in totals under another label, or unlabelled.
Report
Produce a checked ten-field disclosure and CRT-format files, reviewed by the body that needs them.
Reduce
Plan diesel cuts, electrification, renewable power and avoided clearance, with abatement attributed to each lever.
Why trust it
Transparent by design
Every factor is traceable. Fuel factors are computed from IPCC 2006 defaults; land uses the national inventory's own carbon stocks.
Uncertainty is shown, not hidden. Medians with 95% ranges; sums of medians are labelled as such.
Your data stay yours. Organisation data are private; disclosures are published only with two-sided consent.
No site is ever located. Artisanal and informal mining appears only as national totals.
Everything is audited. Every change is recorded in an audit log your administrators can read.
Aligned with
The standards your stakeholders use

Alignment means EmiMine's fields and categories map to these frameworks. It is not a certification.
Unlabelled is not the same as missing. Most of Ghana's mining carbon is probably already in the national totals, just not called mining.
Beyond Ghana
A method that travels
Artisanal gold mining is a large and poorly counted source wherever it happens. GhaMEM's indicative global extension puts artisanal gold mining at about 20.5 Mt CO₂e a year (12.4–34.9). The multi-country toolkit lets any national team set up the same reconciliation with its own data.
