Biogenic CO2 emission factor for combustion of biofuels and other biomass. Should be reported as 'biogenic' or 'outside of scopes'. Retrieved from the Fuel Combustion 2025 excel file provided by Statistics Finland.

Emission intensity for '28: Landfill biogas that is captured for combustion (methane only)'. 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 2 - Fuel combustion - gaseous fuels.

Retrieved from Schedule 1 - Energy content factors and emission factors: Part 2 - Fuel combustion - gaseous fuels. Converted from GJ using the energy content factor.

Emission intensity of stationary combustion of fuel. Bioenergy conversion factors should be used for the combustion of fuels produced from recently living sources (such as trees) at a site or in an asset under the direct control of the reporting organisation. All factors are on a net calorific value basis. Retrieved from the Conversion Factors 2025: flat file published by the UK BEIS/Defra at the source URL.

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.

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. Calculated on a Gross Calorific Value basis using the Net value and the Fuel properties provided by the source.
