Funktionelle Einheit

die Referenzeinheit, die für die Berechnung der mit Waren verbundenen grauen Emissionen verwendet wird

The functional unit is the reference unit used to calculate embedded emissions — for most goods, that’s tonnes of product under the same CN code. A few sectors use a different measure: electricity is measured in kWh, fertilisers in kilograms of nitrogen content, and cement clinker in tonnes of clinker. Getting the functional unit right matters because it’s the denominator used to work out emissions per unit of good.
