Natural gas distribution

Biogenic CO2 emission factor for combustion of charcoal. Calculated using emission factors published by the source and converting from a net to gross calorific value basis by multiplying by 0.9. Published by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency. The net calorific value is retrieved from Table 1 of the pdf file Netherlands: list of fuels and standard CO2 emission factors version of January 2024.

Charcoal (gross CV)

Emission intensity for '15: Charcoal'.  CH4 and N2O only - excludes biogenic CO2 emissions. Note that the source does not provide biogenic CO2 emission factors. Published by the Australian Government (DCCEEW) on 21 September 2023: National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Measurement) Determination (NGER). Retrieved from Schedule 1 - Energy content factors and emission factors: Part 1 - Fuel combustion - solid fuels and certain coal-based products.

Biogenic CO2 emission intensity of biodiesels. This can be used to report outside-of-scope biogenic emissions.  Provided by the Official Journal of the European Union for the purposes of the carbon border adjustment mechanism during the transitional period. Retrieved from Annex VIII and calculated by multiplying the columns: Emission factor (t CO2/TJ) and Net calorific value (TJ/Gg) from Table 1 at the source URL.

Published by the Australian Government (DCCEEW) on 31 August 2024: National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Measurement) Determination (NGER). Retrieved from Schedule 1 - Energy content factors and emission factors: Part 1 - Fuel combustion - solid fuels and certain coal-based products. Converted from GJ using the energy content factor.

Biogenic CO2 emission factor for combustion of charcoal. The GHG emissions standard applied is the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. Boundaries: Only includes emissions from the combustion of the fuel. Excludes emissions upstream of the combustion of the fuel. Retrieved from Singapore Emission Factors Registry (SEFR) database. The primary data source is National Environment Agency (NEA) Singapore. According to the source: This datapoint references default CO2 CH4 and N2O emission factors in net calorific values from the 2006 IPCC Guidelines (unless stated otherwise) and the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5). This datapoint is also referenced in NEA's Carbon Tax Calculator for companies under the Carbon Pricing Act (CPA). For CPA companies who wish to do the Carbon Tax calculation please refer to NEA website directly. (https://www.nea.gov.sg/our-services/climate-change-energy-efficiency/climate-change/carbon-tax).

Biogenic CO2 emission intensity of biodiesels. Calculated on a net calorific value (Net CV) basis. This can be used to report outside-of-scope biogenic emissions. Provided by the Official Journal of the European Union for the purposes of the carbon border adjustment mechanism during the transitional period. Retrieved from Annex VIII - Table 1 at the source URL.

Emission intensity of stationary combustion of biofuel and other biomass - CH4 and N2O only. This EF can be used to report 'in-scope' emissions in scope 1 as it excludes emissions of biogenic CO2.  Published by the Chinese Academy of Environmental Planning. Retrieved from the China Products Carbon Footprint Factors Database (2022).

Emission intensity of supply chain in EUR spend on: Charcoal. The emission factors are for the final production of products in the region and from the complete international supply chain. These factors are provided in basic prices for the year 2022. Data quality flag: Methodology - this EF is marked as an outlier by the source for Scope 2 component which takes the average value for region Non-EU Emerging or a World average if the former doesn't exist.
