</Tip>

The Sinai integration exports utility data in formats required by Sinai's decarbonization platform. Exports produce spreadsheet files for you to upload to Sinai.

## Export flow

Navigate to [**Data Export > Integrations > Sinai**](https://dash.nectarclimate.com/data-export/integrations/sinai) to run an export. The multi-step wizard includes:

### Step 1: Export type

Choose the scope of data to export:

| Type        | Description                                   | Commodities        |
| ----------- | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------ |
| **Scope 1** | Direct emissions from gas and fuel combustion | Gas, Fuel          |
| **Scope 2** | Purchased electricity and solar generation    | Electricity, Solar |
| **Water**   | Municipal water consumption                   | Water              |
| **Waste**   | Waste generation by type and stream           | Waste              |

Scope 1 and Scope 2 exports produce ZIP files containing multiple spreadsheets in EPA and GHG Protocol formats.

### Step 2: Data scope

Configure the data to include:

* **Date range** — Start and end dates for billing periods
* **Sites** — Multi-select to limit the export to specific sites
* **Include flagged bills** — Toggle to include bills with data quality flags

### Step 3: Export options

* **Export name** — A label for this export (appears in Export History)
* **File format** — xlsx or csv

### Step 4: Preview & download

Review the data summary. The preview shows row counts, date coverage, and affected sites. Click **Export** to generate and download the file. For Scope 1 and Scope 2, the download is a ZIP containing multiple spreadsheets.

## Export history

Past Sinai exports appear in the export history table on the same page. Use the **Re-run** action to prefill the wizard with a previous export's configuration.
