The emission factors used by Greenly come from various sources (e.g. UK conversion factors, EPA, ADEME, EcoInvent). Often, an emission factor for the same product or process differs depending on the source. The orders of magnitude are usually the same, but these differences can lead to significant changes in a company's GHG inventory. Methodological differences are usually the cause.
