Emission intensity of stationary combustion of biofuel and other biomass - CH4 N2O and fossil CO2 only. This EF can be used to report in-scope emissions in scope 1 as it excludes emissions of biogenic CO2. Use LCA activity biogenic_co2_combustion for the biogenic CO2 emissions reported outside of scopes. Retrieved from the Conversion Factors 2019: flat file published by the UK Government - DEFRA / BEIS / DESNZ at the source URL.
