# Base Empreinte for Flights and Trains Now Live

The **BASE-EMPREINTE methodology** for flights and trains is now live in the SQUAKE API, based on the latest ADEME datasets.

### **Key Features**

* **Flights & Trains Emission Factors**: Uses ADEME’s **2025 Base Empreinte** environmental impact data.
* **Granular Methodology**: Factors in aircraft performance, fuel consumption, and train energy mix.
* **Compliance Ready**: Aligns with ADEME’s **Base Carbone Methodological Guide (2024)**.

Users can now retrieve BASE-EMPREINTE-compliant emissions data via the API.
