Getting Started with the EMT

The RBA Emissions Management Tool (EMT) is available at no cost to RBA member companies and their suppliers that have an RBA-Online subscription. Although the EMT is a separate online platform from RBA-Online, it is fully integrated with RBA-Online through roundtrip API for users to leverage their existing company, facility, and trading relationships data in RBA-Online as a foundation for collecting emissions inventory data in the EMT. To access and use the web-based EMT, you must first have an active RBA-Online user account with the EMT Admin role assigned.

Step 1: Assign EMT Admin role to RBA-Online users

The process for assigning the ‘EMT Admin’ role to your RBA-Online user accounts depends on your organization's membership status: 

Note: RBA member customers may assign the EMT Admin role to their suppliers' user accounts by adding them in the 'Supplier Organizations' submenu of the ‘Emissions Management Tool’ dropdown menu. This will generate an EMT data request and automatically assign the selected suppliers' user(s) the EMT Admin role. RBA members must have trading relationships with suppliers beforehand. 

Step 2: Add RBA-Online Facilities and Users to EMT

RBA-Online users may add their facilities, supplier facilities, and users to the EMT in the ‘Emissions Management Tool’ dropdown menu, which becomes available to users when the EMT Admin role is assigned to their user accounts. 

1. In the ‘Emissions Management Tool’ menu, select ‘My Organizations’.

   

2. Select the ‘+Add Organization’ button to open the ‘Add Organization’ window where you may add your organization's active RBA-Online facilities and users (including yourself) to the EMT.

6. Respond to each customer request by selecting the ‘Options’ button and then ‘Respond’ to open the ‘Respond’ window where you may either accept or reject the request.
   1. Accept customer requests for each organization (facility or company) by selecting ‘Accept’ in the ‘Response’ column and then selecting all users that you wish to have access to it in the EMT in the ‘Users’ column.
   2. Reject customer requests for each organization (facility or company) by selecting ‘Reject’ in the ‘Response’ column and then adding a note in the ‘Comment’ column to explain why you are rejecting the customer request.
   3. Select the ‘Confirm’ button to open the ‘Confirmation’ window.
   4. Select the ‘Yes’ button to confirm your responses and acknowledge that your EMT data will be shared with your customers that you've accepted requests from. RBA-Online will process the request and confirm that the customer requests where responded to.
