Qlyp Pro
GHGmethod
How Qlyp calculates CO₂e per trip for your reports — no marketing claims, with limits stated clearly.
This page describes the method used in Qlyp Pro GHG reports. Figures follow the published model version (ghg-v1) and the documented energy and provincial electricity factors below.
What we calculate
For each eligible trip, we estimate CO₂e emissions from vehicle travel in grams, using version ghg-v1. The reference scenario uses gasoline at 180 g/km when vehicle energy is unknown.
How we calculate
We multiply trip kilometres (from the quoted route at booking time) by an emission factor for the vehicle’s declared energy. For electric vehicles, we multiply consumption (kWh/km) by the grid factor for the province where the trip occurs.
Grid emission factor by province
Values in grams of CO₂e per kilowatt-hour (g CO₂e/kWh) to convert electric vehicle consumption.
| Province or territory | Grid factor |
|---|---|
| Quebec (QC) | 1.5 g CO₂e/kWh |
| Ontario (ON) | 49 g CO₂e/kWh |
| British Columbia (BC) | 16 g CO₂e/kWh |
| Manitoba (MB) | 1.4 g CO₂e/kWh |
| Alberta (AB) | 474 g CO₂e/kWh |
| Saskatchewan (SK) | 655 g CO₂e/kWh |
| Nova Scotia (NS) | 690 g CO₂e/kWh |
| New Brunswick (NB) | 336 g CO₂e/kWh |
| Prince Edward Island (PE) | 336 g CO₂e/kWh |
| Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) | 18 g CO₂e/kWh |
| Yukon (YT) | 74 g CO₂e/kWh |
| Northwest Territories (NT) | 190 g CO₂e/kWh |
| Nunavut (NU) | 820 g CO₂e/kWh |

Shared rides
When a ride is shared, calculated emissions are split among passengers based on effective occupancy over time. The reference scenario (180 g/km gasoline) is not shared: it is used only for comparison when actual emissions are calculated.
Important limits
- Driver approach kilometres are not measured in this version.
- Kilometres come from the quoted route, not necessarily the actual path driven.
- If vehicle energy is unknown, we do not guess: emissions are not calculated for that trip.
- Avoided emissions versus the reference scenario are reported only when trip emissions were calculated.
