Biogenic CO2 emission factor of bioethanol. Retrieved from the excel file CO2 Emissiefactoren 2026 providing a Dutch standard list of CO2 emission factors. For additional information on the application and interpretation of this emission factor please refer to the link: https://co2emissiefactoren.nl/factoren/2026/31/70/brandstoffen-voertuigen-en-schepen-hernieuwbare-brandstoffen-bio-ethanol-100/

Well-to-Tank (WTT) emission intensity of fuel. WTT fuels conversion factors should be used to account for the upstream Scope 3 emissions associated with extraction and refining and transportation of the fuel to an organisation site (or asset) - prior to combustion. Retrieved from the Conversion Factors 2018: flat file published by the UK Government - DEFRA / BEIS / DESNZ at the source URL.

Well-to-Tank (WTT) emission intensity of fuel.

Emission intensity of bioethanol. Retrieved from the file Informationsblatt CO2-Faktoren v3.3 in the source URL. This EF does not include biogenic CO2 emissions.

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.
